(1963 Twilight Zone adaptation of the original sci-fi short story)
Imagine a movie where Rocky-meets-Terminator… except the job of the robot is to win boxing rounds, and not kill Sarah Conner. This is how one website describes the short story written by sci-fi author Richard Matheson. The original story was adapted for an episode of the Twilight Zone in 1963.
Anyway, DreamWorks is making the robot boxing movie now. Steven Spielberg is producing it. It’s about a retired boxer who reconnects with his estranged son after he becomes a promoter for a robot boxing league. Hugh Jackman has been cast. All they need is the right 10-14 year old boy for the kid role… Here is what they are looking for:
Role to be cast is ‘Max’:
• Male, 10-14 years old.
• He’s a street-smart, tough, charming kid with a hard, untrusting outer shell which hides a warm enthusiastic spirit beneath.
• He is a complicated, strong-willed and resourceful boy
