Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy Set to Reteam
Thu, February 3, 2011 
The trailer for Real Steel didn't exactly receive the warmest reception when it showed up online a few months ago, but it has been getting some impressive early buzz (memo to Dreamworks/Disney: give us a better trailer!). So it looks like director Shawn Levy and his Real Steel star Hugh Jackman are already gearing up to work together again.
Deadline is reporting that 20th Century Fox has acquired a pitch for an untitled action-adventure film that will be scripted by Carlton Cuse (Lost) for Levy to direct and Jackman to star in. No details on the story have emerged as of yet, but it's possible Fox is looking to combine both their Wolverine and Night at the Museum starpower to create another new franchise. Which sounds like a pretty smart idea.
Real Steel will be released in theaters on October 7. And it won't be in 3D. Let's take this as a respectable good sign.
