“The Hurt Locker” co-stars (sort of) Anthony Mackie and Evangeline Lilly are set to join the Hugh Jackman sci-fi project “Real Steel.”
Directed by Shawn Levy, the film follows a father-son team training an unusual robot to win a boxing championship after Jackman’s fall from glory as an actual human boxer. Mackie joins the recently announced Kevin Durand as a boxing promoter while Lilly will play a friend of Jackman’s.
Filming on the project will get underway next month. Of course, Lilly is best known for her role on “Lost” which after last night’s brutal episode is now treading water with fans and gearing up to be one of the most disappointing series finales in television history. As for Mackie, he’ll be seen next in Matt Damon’s “The Adjustment Bureau” hitting theaters on September 17th.
