Shawn Levy Talks 'Real Steel', and Practical Robots; Plus an Update on the Sequel

The Collider:
When director Shawn Levy’s Real Steel opened last October, it surprised quite a few people. For one, the so-called “robot boxing movie” packed a whole lot of heart. While some may have been expecting wall-to-wall robot fights, they soon found out that buried beneath this sci-fi adventure was an emotional father-son story.

Just so long as they don't go with some stupid 90s-esque sequel title, I'll be happy....Like:

Real Steel 2: Platinum!
Real Steel 2: Steelier
Real Steel 2: Wood Apocalypse

...Yeah.

I want a sequel but I do want them to do it right...I actually loved the movie and I was surprised because I went in to see just because I like Hugh Jackman and I thought it would be a good action film. I wasn't expecting to really get into it like I did. I came out of the theater loving it. I went back to see it again with my sister.

So if they make a sequel...I would expect it to surprise me again and expect it to be even better.
