The makers of Real Steel are holding open casting calls this month for young males. They are looking for fresh talent to play the part of Max, a 10-14-year-old described as "a street-smart, tough, charming kid with a hard, untrusting outer shell which hides a warm enthusiastic spirit beneath. He is a complicated, strong-willed and resourceful boy."

Auditions are being held in Chicago on February 14 at the Chicago Academy of the Arts and on February 20 in New York at Shelter Studios. If you're not planning to be in either of those two locations on those days but are still interested in auditioning, DreamWorks has set up a website where you can submit a video audition. Visit http://www.realsteelcasting.com to find out all of the details.

We've been scooped by an anonymous reader about an article appearing in the Detroit Free Press that Real Steel will shoot in metro Detroit and around Michigan this coming June. The production has applied for tax credits from the state designed to attract movies to film in the region. 

"The rebate is certainly a primary factor in the decision, but it was incentive along with the diverse looks in Michigan and the cooperation of the state that make this an ideal package for Real Steel," DreamWorks exec Steve Molen told the paper.

Sci Fi Wire asked Real Steel's Shawn Levy his thoughts about the robot fighters in his recently announced new project. "They are most definitely not Transformers, not Terminators, definitely not WALL-Es, either," the director said. "Unlike a lot of these others, these are human-built, human-scale fighting machines. They are built for human spectacle. People in this movie have gotten bored with human carnage and human violence. So in the quest for more, more, more, this sport has evolved to this."

He also explained what attracted him to take on this kind of movie. "When I sat down with Steven [Spielberg], I had a very, very specific vision of this movie, one that really puts the emphasis on the story and the sports-movie aspect as much as on the machinery. Real Steel is my first non-comedy. I will likely come back to comedy. It's certainly been very, very good to me. But like anyone who does anything, freshness and new experience is what keeps you interested. So when Steven called and said, 'Hey, you want to do this thing?' I was like, 'Hell yeah, I'm looking for a different experience.'"

Calling his idea of the movie "more Rocky than Transformers," Levy added, "Hugh Jackman plays a former boxer who can therefore no longer do the only thing he was ever good at and has to make his way in this new world. It's faithful to the story in that that story was very much about a down-on-his-luck, slightly desperate journeyman who works in this robot boxing sport and who is desperately needing redemption and one last shot."

Hugh Jackman is now in talks to headline Real Steel. If his deal closes the Wolverine leading man will play the film's lead, a human boxer who finds himself now a trainer/manager/operator for robot fighters that enter the ring. Jackman would discover two big turning points in his life: a robot that had been discarded as junk but that turns out to be a winner, and the discovery that he has a 13-year-old son.

Director Shawn Levy is working on a new draft of the script with John Gatins. The studio is hoping that filming could get started next spring.

In their coverage of the Jackman news Variety mentions that, in fact, Real Steel is based on a Richard Matheson short story. It was first adapted as an episode of the classic Twilight Zone series.
