Description: A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, "Real Steel" stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, 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.

Shawn Levy (Real Steel) has daddy issues or, at least, the protagonist of his next project does. In a recent acquisition by Fox 2000 and Levy's company, 21 Laps Entertainment, author Joel Stein's upcoming book, "Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity," has been set up for production. The story is a non-fiction account of a man's journey to discover his masculinity in reaction to learning that he's about to have a baby boy. His journey takes him on a 24-hour shift with L.A. firefighters, basic training sessions with the US Marine Corps and even into the octagon with UFC fighter, Randy Couture (The Expendables).
