Shawn Levy provided a few updates on the Real Steel sequel, specifically talking about how their approach to Real Steel 2 was directly influenced by what demographics responded to Real Steel most passionately.
On 12:44 Shawn talks about tweaking the sequel script based on knowing the fanbase of Real Steel "I broke the story of the sequel with John Gatins, so the writer of Real Steel 1 and I, when DreamWorks told us ‘We want another one’, we sat in a room for a couple of months, and then we sat in a room with Spielberg, and we tweaked it and we reworked it, and so the story that we’re writing for the sequel to Real Steel is very much the story that John Gatins and I broke way back when. Once I started seeing ‘Well who is sending me those letters since Real Steel came out, what are the things about that movie that people are responding to?’ Yes it’s the fights, but it was really that father-son heart of the movie, and the wish fulfillment of like ‘What if you could be that kid?’ and the good movies, whether it’s The Goonies or whatever, it’s going to tap into the kid version of us. I think that’s what Night at the Museum did and I think that’s what Real Steel did and so we’re certainly kind of tweaking the sequel script based on an awareness now that that is what happened with Real Steel.”
And he added: "I speak to Stacey Snider every week and we’re getting our script within the next two weeks. I’ll just say that—I mean look, $300 million worldwide, that’s a good number for a movie that cost just north of $100 million."
