real steelIn Real Steel, Hugh Jackman plays a boxer who missed his chance at the title when robots replaced humans in the ring. Instead of wasting away his talents as a promoter, he decides to team up with his son to train a robot they pulled out of the junk heap into a boxing champion.

We got our first look at some of the aforementioned robot fighters in the two trailers that dropped, and then Comic-Con attendees got up-close and personal with the brawler ‘bots last month in San Diego. Now we have yet another look at the robots of Real Steel, courtesy of imagery from the upcoming toy line.

Microdramas have already conquered the tiny vertical screen. Character.AI wants to make the experience even more immersive. The chatbot platform has launched c.ai Series, a collection of original, mobile-first microdramas created by its in-house studio. Each show consists of bite-sized vertical episodes, although watching is only half the experience. Viewers can also chat directly with the characters afterwards, revisit moments from the story, explore relationships, or begin entirely new storylines.

It is the latest attempt to blend streaming with audience participation.
