This behind the scenes look at Real Steel shows us exactly what makes the robots tick. Surprisingly, it’s not Andy Serkis.

Boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard is the man behind the mo-cap this time, choreographing fight moves with actual boxers (imagine if he played Gollum). Normally I’d make a joke about the spandex and motion-ball outfits, but I value my jaw so I’ll let this one slide. Also featured are stars Hugh Jackman and Anthony Mackie, who do their best to act against nothing. I’m talking about the special effects, you guys. Not Evangeline Lilly.

Evangeline Lilly And Barry Humphries Find Themselves In ‘The Hobbit’

Peter Jackson spent the weekend adding original characters to The Hobbit storyline. Not only can we expect to see the cast of the original trilogy return. Jackson has found a way to shoehorn in a few more.

“Lost’s” Evangeline Lilly will call upon her talent of looking ethereal for the role of Tauriel, a Woodland Elf from the Mirkwood forest. She’s a completely new character and it was also noted that she’s not a love interest for Legolas. Which I’m sure that isn’t helping Legolas squash any rumors about himself. He’ll date when he finds the right girl, Dad!!

The character actor best known for portraying Dame Edna, Barry Humphries, has also joined the project. He’ll play the Goblin King via Gollum-like motion capture. This character also did not appear in the books, rather the video game The Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle-Earth II. Filmmakers will be going the more lizard-eyed, jagged tooth route with this character and less in the direction of David Bowie with a feathered wig. (Peter Jackson)

Evangeline Lilly is best known for her starring role on ABC’s long-running sci-fi series “Lost.” Before the series ended, she turned her attention to film, landing a role in 2008 Oscar favorite The Hurt Locker. Now she’s set to appear alongside Hugh Jackman in Real Steel, out in October.

A word from Evangeline: “I love being outside – that’s where I’m the happiest.”

Robot Nutshots Galore In ‘Real Steel’ Teaser Trailer

If you haven’t yet had your fill of robots kicking each other’s asses in movies then this Real Steel trailer is going to make you go cuckoo bananas. Directed by Shawn Levy, it stars Hugh Jackman as a robot boxing coach who teams up with his son to make their mechanical heavy weight a championship winner. Supposedly they used mostly practical effects in the film, but it appears to be mainly CG to my eye. They shouldn’t have cropped Jackman’s hair so short if they wanted him to look real.

Real Steel smashes into theaters Oct. 7, 2011.

‘Lost: The Final Season’ Teaser Shows You So Much of Nothing

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

If you’d like to know absolutely nothing about what’s happening on the next and final season of LOST then watch the teaser trailer below. It’ll give you so much of nothing that you’ll be begging for more nothing. According to E! Online:

I’m hearing from Lost sources that every single shot of the first few episodes are so revealing that the producers have convinced ABC to NOT SHOW A SINGLE FRAME before the new season airs. No promo scenes, no photos, no nada! So you will be completely in the dark, but it is for good reason: The twists they’re planning are so good, you will WANT to be surprised. Trust me. Your mind gonna go kaplewey.

Alright, if the lack of information and footage is because they’re readying a twist that’s going to turn my world inside out than I’ll wait semi-patiently. But if Jenna from 30 Rock from last night has the inside scoop, than apparently the whole thing is Hurley‘s dream.

Watch the teaser after the jump.
