The Revelator

Rock’em Sock’em Robots is the first thing I thought of while watching this trailer. The second, is how the hell did a movie like this ever get made? If anyone knows please tell me.

The way I see it, the writers were getting baked one night trying to come up with an idea for a script. They were so baked that their discussion got derailed, and they started reminiscing about their childhood toys. Rock’em Sock’em Robots was mentioned, which gave one of the writers a flash of genius.

“What if we wrote a script based on Rock’em Sock’em Robots!” said the first writer.

“Oh shit son I think your on to something, this could really work” replied the second writer.

“A boxing movie about robots with a little dash of Rocky, its bound to sell!” said the first writer with a twinkle in his eyes.

As you can see I can wrap my head around the birth of this idea because most of us come up with the craziest ideas when we are baked out of our minds, but the question still remains. How the hell do you sell an idea like this?

All jokes aside, I hope that this will turn out to be a good movie. I like Hugh Jackman, and I would rather not see him in another flop like the Wolverine Origins.That said, I have no clue what these Hollywood studio executives are thinking when their green lighting these projects, but this trailer gives me hope that my epic script about the shady world of underground Jenga tournaments has a chance of getting made.
