After casting a wide net for its search of a young actor to play Hugh Jackman’s son in “Real Steel,” DreamWorks and director Shawn Levy have tapped 11-year-old Canadian Dakota Goyo for the part.

The story, set in a future world where robot-boxing has replaced human mano-a-mano, follows a former boxer (Jackman) who gets a shot at redemption when he teams up with his long lost son to train an unusual robot for a shot at the championships.

Less than a month after beaching “Captain Nemo: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” new Walt Disney chief Rich Ross has put the kibosh on “Wedding Banned,” a romantic comedy to have starred Robin Williams, Anna Faris and Diane Keaton.

The studio has put the project into turnaround, and the production company, Mandeville Films, is free to shop it around town.

“Banned” revolves around a long-divorced couple (Williams and Keaton) who kidnap their daughter (Faris) on her wedding day to prevent her from making the same mistakes they did. The parents rekindle their relationship as they elude cops and the angry groom.

The movie was being groomed for a shoot in 2010, but this week Ross made the decision to untether the project. One factor in the decision was the poor showing of the Robin Williams comedy “Old Dogs,” which has grossed just $35 million since its November 25 opening.

The decision to put “Banned” into turnaround has Disney-ites wondering what exactly constitutes a Disney studio movie in the Ross era, especially since “Banned” seemed to be in the mold of other studio hit comedies such as “The Proposal” and “Wild Hogs.”
