Real Steel boasts Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis among its producers, and is directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Date Night). It's based on a short story by influential genre author Richard Matheson, whose works have been adapted into many notable films, including I Am Legend, What Dreams May Come, The Incredible Shrinking Man, and Spielberg's own debut film, Duel.

DreamWorks (now distributed through Disney) is so high on Real Steel that the studio has already commissioned a script for a sequel. The trailer also offers a brief glimpse of Evangeline Lilly (Kate!) in her first post-"Lost" role.   

Do you think Real Steel will live up to the hype?
