DreamWorks’ Real Steel had its Australian premiere in Sydney on 28 September, complete with an appearance by native Hugh Jackman, and The League were in the house to cover the event.
Real Steel is a gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, and the boxers are robots.
Below is a selection of photos from the night. We have lots more to come, plus a video interview with Jackman in the coming days where we grill the star on his one-man show, his stage and screen appearances, the current state of The Wolverine and his anguish over missing Manly in the Grand Final. Click on any photo to enlarge.
We need to thank Disney and Lantern Group for access to the red carpet and for making this opportunity possible.
For more photos and coverage, check out Geek Actually, Damn Good Cup and Spotlight Report.
About The League
In the beginning there was chaos, a vast information network that provided few islands of hope. Then there was a light, a shimmering hope in the darkness. A portal for lovers of the wonders of celluloid and the entertainment industry. Then there came another, and another ushering in a golden age of wonders the likes the world had never seen. By day, they live out their lives as the humble David McVay of Geek Actually, Jorge Duran of The Spotlight Report, Richard Gray of The Reel Bits, Dave Longo of Damn Good Cup and Josh Philpott of Hip Hop Net. But when the signal goes out they come together as one! The League assembles! Tremble all who dare stand in its path!
