Hugh Jackman's "Real Steal" boxing

Hugh Jackman is in negotiation to star in a new movie about boxing robots called Real Steel, directed by Shawn Levy for DreamWorks.

Pic is a Rocky-esque tale of a fighter who has to reinvent himself when human boxing becomes obsolete, replaced by 2000 pound human-like robots. Jackman is negotiating to play the ex-fighter, who becomes a Robot Boxing promoter, but whose chances of success are hampered by his access to sub-standard robot parts. That is until he discovers a discarded robot that always seems to win. The ex-fighter has also discovered he's the father of a 13-year old son, and they bond as the robot brawls its way toward the top.

It seems it's not a blockbuster concept but I hope they come up with a great script. Sci-Fi film is always a gamble.

According to TMZ, "they have obtained the receipt from Paradise Bakery in Tempe, Arizona -- where Jackman bought 67 breakfast trays and 80 gallons of coffee for a pack of "Wolverine" fans who had camped out in front of a theater the day before Monday's big premiere.

Once Jackman heard about the fans, he promised to buy them breakfast and placed the order late Sunday. We're told Jackman wanted to keep the food order simple and bought platters of bagels, muffins, and croissants."

more than 2 million watched the unfinished workprint of " X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (Illegal Online -leaked)

Aside from Hugh Jackman's "heartbroken" comment over the Wolverine leaked, 20th Century Fox will now be nervous on the outcome of their ticket sales as Torrent Freak website is now reporting that illegal downloads of the leaked movie has reached over 1,000,000 times. This numbers will be double or triple on the number people who watched or copies and then shared to their friends.

As /film calculates, "Based on TF’s numbers, a conservative estimate would be that 2 million people have watched the illegally downloaded film, which is the box office equivalent of $15-$20 million. Download numbers aside, the big concern was that the unfinished workprint might cause a wave of bad word of mouth that would detour the usual suspects from showing up opening weekend."

This situation will "make it" or "break it" for the movie. With this unfinished leaked movie, it can help to generate buzz and interest to see the full movie or the opposite of it.

Hugh Jackman is People's Sexiest Man Alive of 2008

Metal claw action hero Hugh Jackman was named 2008 Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine. If some people are surprise, even his wife Deborra-Lee Furness jokingly said “Obviously, Brad wasn’t available this year.” and added, “That was a joke, right?”

Deborra-Lee Furness describes Hugh's form “the Body of Doom – but I like what’s inside”.

Australia co-star Nicole Kidman says, “Women’s jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room.”

"Hugh is tough and romantic at the same time. Australian men are a different breed. They're rugged and they sweat."

Other highlights of his interview:

How do you keep the passion alive?
It's easy with my wife. She loves the idea of me coming home in costume because it makes her feel like she's having an affair in a good way. When we met, I was cast as a prisoner with tattoos and she'd say, "Don't take your tattoos off tonight!" and I'd be like, "All right!" But what works best with her is the stockbroker look. She also says, "Do your sexy dance for me," [an '80s-like, hip-swiveling number] and that works for me.

What do you wear to bed?
I didn't wear anything until my daughter was born and we had a night nanny because I was working. I walked out stark naked, and she was reading a book. Now I like boxer briefs.

First learned about sex:
"When I was 9, Scott Whitehead, who lived down the road, had an older brother who had Penthouse magazines. I was kind of shocked."

In this year's list, celebrities next in line are Daniel Craig, John Hamm, Zac Efron, Roebrt Buckley, Blair Underwood, Ed Westwick, Michael Phelps, Blake Shelton, Lang Lang, Mark-Paul Gosslear, Jaiver Bardem, Robert Pattinson, Joshua Jackson and David Beckham.
