Dakota made it to the final two but lost to Kodi Smit-McPhee. So we really needed clear background, context of what we're talking about and where these robots have been in the massive aspect of this world to where when you get to the last fight it really becomes real.
Ray Charles Leonard, a. He showed Jackman some moves and worked on the movements for the robot fights. LEVY : I remember when Hugh came in for fight choreography, and we're there with Garrett [Warren], who was our stunt coordinator, and Sugar Ray Leonard, who was choreographing a lot of the fights.
I actually have video somewhere. We're like, "Come on, Ray! Show us something. I asked him, "Any of your kids box? MACKIE : I remember one time he was talking about showmanship and the idea that the people around the ring don't matter. It's the people who were in the back seats in the stands. When you're a boxer and you knock somebody out and you throw your hands up, it's because you want everybody in the world to see.
It was really fun to just be able to hang out with a living legend. I talked to him more about boxing and what his diet and workout plan was than I talked to him about the character.
He said, "You sleep the most, you work out the second most. The production built the opening scene — a robot match between the robot Ambush and a bull during a state fair — outside of Detroit, Mich.
Levy's daughters made cameos as young girls asking Charlie to show them Ambush. With most movies, you don't always get the money for that. But that opening song, I was sitting in the truck, and it was so moving to me.
Just sitting there. I had heard this Alexi Murdoch song "All My Days" for several months where we shot and I was like, "This needs to be the opening of the movie. Years ago I read that Peter Weir would often play music on the set to give the actors the feeling. I had a speaker in that weird truck that Charlie Kenton drives all over the country, and I played the song.
Hugh was there listening. Then after about 30 seconds, I said, "Action. Steven Spielberg was directing War Horse in the U. He calls me on a weekend after one week, and he goes, "So I was watching dailies. Spielberg goes, "On take four, something is triggered in him emotionally, and you might be able to use Hugh Jackman waiting to start the scene and use that natural reaction to that song in the scene.
He watched before I even called action, and he found this moment that is in the movie. It's apropos of the theme of the movie. I was waiting there and I knew I had time [before filming].
A thought flashed through my head about my dad, just out of nowhere. The song brought that up. If you want to go back and watch the DVD, that's what's going on there. Kevin Durand [who plays boxing promotor Ricky] was on day one, and he was so good. I had never experienced a tornado.
Off the Ferris wheel! Oscar's there; my son was 10 or He was like, "Dad, is that…? Don't worry. He is from Australia [and] never encountered a tornado.
He ran into my trailer without seeing my son. There's going to be a tornado! It's going to be huge! There's a tornado in the Wizard of Oz , and everything's fine. Filming continued around the Detroit area. When the fight begins, Mackie channeled his inner Don King. LEVY : Midas' human operator who has one eye is [played by] Garrett Warren, who was our stunt coordinator on that movie.
That was a year-old Model T. Ford plant. We built a rig in the middle and all those people were in the assembly line that was five stories high.
Some of those scenes, like San Leandro, Crash Palace and the zoo [where Max and Charlie use Atom to fight Metro], we brought in 1,plus extras and they got into it. I would go into the middle of the ring, I would get a microphone, and I would [be] describing every punch, knowing that I was shooting the audience.
That was the energy that we got from those extras in those real venues. I feel like one of the most forgotten iconic people in the history of showmanship is Don King. I went and looked at some old Don King videos of when he would put together these fights, and the words he would use to make people excited about the fight that they were about to experience. We did it a bunch of different ways, and I remember specifically [Levy] telling me, "Be as big and as ridiculous as you want. Really hype this crowd up, like you're selling them the best thing in the world.
This guy [Finn] really is like the Suge Knight of underground boxing. There was a few things I tried to do that he said was too much. That was just Anthony coming out. You put me in a circle of 20 extras and give me a microphone, the jerk will come out. So, he had to tone that down a little bit. Keeping with the practical aesthetic as much as possible, the production created another set for the Metal Valley sequence, in which Charlie and Max first discover Atom when the boy slides down a muddy drop in the middle of the rain after Noisy Boy gets pummeled in a match.
LEVY : We built that mountain, we built that sluice with just gallons and gallons of water and mud, and we hung Dakota off of that robot arm that was dangled off the edge. So when he looks back and he is dripping with mud, and he looks terrified and cold and shivering, it's because he was. GOYO : At some point, it felt like life or death. It's not like they just slung me off the edge. At 10 years old, I was scared. There was a lot of preparation. I would really enjoy going down that slide.
At a certain point, it became fun for me. So, on the day when I was [drenched] with cold water and mud, that was probably the moment where I said, "Okay, this isn't fun anymore.
This is work. I didn't even try for it to be, but it's so Steven. It's also now very Stranger Things -ish, which is weird.
I now realize that I just keep revisiting these magic childhood moments. Dakota, dripping wet, flashlight bouncing off the water, and his eyes lighting up when he sees the grill of Atom's face.
It's like E. I bet that the job wasn't that fun at that point because it was 2 o'clock in the morning and cold and wet and muddy, but it's all part of what adds up to that magic. For the finale Robot League match between Atom dubbed the People's Champion and reigning champ Zeus, production turned the Cobo Arena in downtown Detroit into a massive stage with thousands of people.
Goyo makes his grand entrance with Atom into the ring, as he did in earlier scenes, dancing a choreographed routine up to the ring as the crowd cheered.
LEVY : I was just showing my youngest daughter a clip that someone put on Twitter or whatever of me basically working the crowd into a frenzy because we needed bloodlust from the audience. I look back on it. Dakota had no self-consciousness. GOYO : I had no experience with dancing whatsoever before this, but we had a wonderful choreographer, Anne. She was like my best friend and we worked non-stop for multiple weeks on trying to get me to perform this choreography.
As a year-old, you're not thinking about what people are thinking of how good you are at dancing or what not. You're just having fun. So, honestly, there was no confidence issues whatsoever. It's just me going out there and dancing in front of hundreds of people and feeling great doing it.
The Proposal , Guilt Trip , and other movies. She did that as a favor. She was a choreographer when she was first coming up. I do remember there's an energy and electricity in those arenas. You have Evangeline standing in the middle of people; you have Anthony Mackie and Kevin Durand up in the stands, where the mean, tall Kevin is going to finally get his comeuppance; and you have Dakota dancing his way into the ring.
When you have that many people screaming and into it, you rode that wave of energy in those places. I used to be a high jumper at school, and I remember when I saw the film, I was like, "I got some air there!
LEVY : No, you did get air. Also, I feel like I put pressure on Hugh to stay in shape because I put him in a lot of tight T-shirts. I feel like if I'm going to give people Hugh Jackman boxing movie and he's never really going to take his shirt off, at least he's leaving going to be in tight t-shirts. In the meantime, I had gotten pregnant. I was three months pregnant when I came back to do that scene, and there were no other cast members.
There was a spattering of, I think, extras around me. I'm in this enormous auditorium, and it's like echoing-ly empty. I had no Hugh to watch, no Dakota to watch. I had nothing to react to except Shawn on the God Mic going, "And now, he's leaping across the stage and it's amazing!
There's nothing else going on, and I felt a little bit like a lunatic. That was just for my reaction shot because we did do the shot where I run up and jump into Hugh's arms, and when I left and I put my arms in the air, I could feel my newly-tight pregnant belly just kind of rip.
