[Your Name]

Yet another silly movie that will have nothing to do with the toy is is
supposedly "based on". :-\



From ComingSoon.net ...


Vin Diesel & Universal team for Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots film
-------------------------------------------------------------
After working with the studio for the past 20 years on the hit 
Fast & Furious and Chronicles of Riddick franchises, Vin Diesel
is partnering up with Universal once again to star in and
produce a film adaptation of Mattel's iconic tabletop boxing
game Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, according to The Hollywood
Reporter.

The action-adventure film is being written by Ryan Engle and
will center on a father and son who form an unlikely bond with
an advanced war machine. Engle has made a name for himself in
the action blockbuster genre, having co-written the Dwayne
Johnson-led adaptation of Rampage at Warner Bros. and the Liam
Neeson vehicles Non-Stop at Universal and The Commuter at
Lionsgate.

Diesel is set to produce the film alongside Samantha Vincent
via his One Race Films production banner, which signed a
first-look deal with the studio back in 2011, while Kevin
McKeon is set to oversee development of the project for
Mattel, who will produce with Universal.

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots is the latest intellectual property
from Mattel to enter development on a film project, with
Universal working on an adaptation of hit '90s series Wishbone 
while Warner Bros. is at work on the Margot Robbie-led Barbie 
and Hot Wheels, MGM developing American Girl and View-Master,
Blumhouse preparing a horror take on the Magic 8-Ball, Marc
Forster producing a new Thomas & Friends and many more.

While fans still eagerly await the release of F9: The Fast
Saga in June, Diesel's dance card proves to be quite full
already, having signed on to the first two sequels in James
Cameron's Avatar franchise, the first of which is currently
in post-production and slated for a December 2022 release,
set to appear as Groot in Thor: Love and Thunder and the
long-awaited third Guardians of the Galaxy and a sequel to
his other superhero venture Bloodshot at DMG Entertainment.

I had totally forgotten about "Real Steel" untill this made me think "What
was that robot fighting movie?". I suspect it won't take ten years to
forget this one..
