From Dreamworks (via Collider) comes a series of new clips from Shawn Levy's rock 'em sock 'em robot boxing movie, Real Steel starring flesh and blood Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly and Anthony Mackie (who I sincerely hope is given more to do than what we see here).

Synopsis: “Real Steel stars Jackman as a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.”

The clips seem to give a lot away, but they're probably hoping that 1. we're all teenaged boys 2. we're so jazzed at the prospect of watching robots beat the sprockets out of each other we won't care about the plot. Get ready. Real Steel opens October 7 in the US, 14 October in the UK and Shawn Levy has already signed on for a sequel.
