In some alternate universe, Steven Spielberg‘s sci-fi action film Robopocalypse is one of the films people are putting on their 2013 best-of lists. Way back in 2011, the film was supposed to open in July 2013 (http://www.slashfilm.com/steven-spielbergs-robopocalypse-cofinanced-dreamworks-fox-released-july-2013/). It was then bumped to 2014 (http://www.slashfilm.com/release-dates-independence-day-3d-rerelease-dawn-planet-apes-xmen-class-2-coming-summer-2014-robopocalypse-pushed/), and finally the film was delayed indefinitely (http://www.slashfilm.com/steven-spielberg-says-robopocalypse-merely-delayed-**t-dead/). Sad for fans of Spielberg and sci-fi, but even with the delay there was some pre-production work done on the film. One website claims to have found some storyboards made for*Robopocalypse which illustrate a pretty impressive robot vs. robot fight followed by a chase through the woods. Check them out below.
Comic Book Movie (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=91875) says the below boards are the work of*Michael Anthony Jackson, who has been a prominent Hollywood storyboard artist since the early 1990s.

You get an idea here of just how big and expensive Robopocalypse will be to make, and why Spielberg decided to put a pin in it until everything was ready.
And while the boards seems to be legitimate, and in Jackson’s style, without a better source link, take their authenticity with a ***** of salt.
A few years back, the film was set to star Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway and Ben Whishaw. Drew Goddard adapted a screenplay from*a book by*Daniel H. Wilson. When and if we see the movie, most of that will likely have changed but the basic plot won’t:
In the **t-too-distant future, robots have made our lives a lot easier: they help clean our kitchens, drive our cars, and fight our wars–until they are turned into efficient murderers by a sentient artificial intelligence buried miles below the surface of Alaska.Robopocalypse*is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that makes a strong case that mindless fun can also be wildly inventive. The war is told as an oral history, assembled from interviews, security camera footage, and first- and secondhand testimonies, similar to Max Brooks’ zombie epic*World War Z. The book isn’t shy about admitting to its influences, but author Daniel H. Wilson certainly owes more to*Terminator*than he does to Asimov. (A film adaptation is already in pre-production, with Steven Spielberg in the director’s chair)*Robopocalypse*may **t be the most unique tale about the war between man and machine, but it’s certainly one of the most fun.
