Pacific Rim

Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim
I'll be watching the progress of this little puppy...
[quote]Pacific Rim is set to be a "monster movie of massive
scale" according to one of the film's stars Charlie Day. The
actor spoke to Bloody Disgusting's Australian correspondent
Maria Lewis (@moviemazz) when he visited the country promoting
Horrible Bosses recently and said he's just as excited as
everyone else when it comes to the hype surrounding Guillermo
del Toro's next feature film.
"What's always exciting about Guillermo del Toro is that's
justifiable excitement because he's a really unique and talented
director," he said.
"It's nice to see people who have such strong, creative and
playful visions to get to make want they want to make.
"I'll tell you, it's a monster movie of massive scale.
"I don't know what to expect, I'm just looking forward to being
one of Guillermo's creations."
Pacific Rim follows the story of an alien attack that threatens
the Earth's existence and the humans who are deployed in giant
robots to fight off the extraterrestrial menace. Sons Of Anarchy
star Charlie Hunnam has been cast in the film, along with The
Wire's Idris Elba, Day, Clifton Collins Jr and Rinko Kikuchi
who's a personal favourite for playing the bad-ass yet silent
Bang Bang in The Brothers Bloom. Filming is set to start in
Toronto in November.
Since Legendary Pictures announced they were making the film in
May last year, del Toro has frequently been quoted as saying
Pacific Rim will be once of the scariest monster movies ever
made. Day said the film will be both a "scary and fun ride."
"He's made some bold statements and I'm not going to sit here
and back them up," he said.
"I don't doubt he has the ability to make something truly
terrifying based on previous body of work.
"I'm not sure what's in Guillermo's mind and there's a lot that
could be left to creative interpretation.
"It will be frightening, but I think it's also his goal to make
it fun.
"It will be something we haven't seen in a world that's
completely new."[/quote]

[glow=red,2,300]Ron Perlman Joins Del Toro's "Realistic"
'Pacific Rim' Battle![/glow]
[quote]Mexican director Guillermo del Toro is about to embark on
his largest endeavor of his career - literally and figuratively.
Del Toro is back behind the camera (as of Monday) for Pacific
Rim, a giant monster vs robot movie that will star Charlie
Hunnam, Charlie Day, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Rob Kazinsky,
and now Ron Perlman. Perlman has starred in del Toro's Hellboy,
Hellboy II, Blade II and Cronos.
In speaking with Wired, he also revealed his intent for
Legendary and Warner Bros. Pictures' enormous battle -- to make
it completely realistic: "It’s really, it’s a very, very
beautiful poem to giant monsters. Giant monsters versus giant
robots. Twenty-five-story-high robots beating the crap out of
25-story-high monsters," said del Toro. "We’re trying to create
a world in which the characters are real and how it would affect
our world politically, how it would affect the landscape if
creatures like this really came out of the sea, etc."
In theaters May 10, 2013, the pic is set in a future in which
malevolent creatures threaten the earth, the planet must band
together and use highly advanced technology to eradicate the
growing menace.[/quote]

Charlie Hunnam and Ron Pearlman together. All we need now is
some Katey Sagal.

I'm actually looking forward to this. Not sure what to make of
the new selected date though.

[glow=red,2,300]Official ‘Pacific Rim’ Plot Reveals Monster &
Robot Origins![/glow]
[quote]From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner
Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action
adventure Pacific Rim. Website MarketSaw landed the official
synopsis:
“When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started
rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of
lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To
combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised:
massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled
simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural
bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in
the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the
forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two
unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an
untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a
legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together,
they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting
apocalypse.”
Oscar nominee Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) is directing
Pacific Rim from a script by Travis Beacham (Clash of the
Titans). Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing,
with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.
The film stars Charlie Hunnam (TV’s “Sons of Anarchy”), Idris
Elba (Thor), Rinko Kikuchi (The Brothers Bloom), Charlie Day
(Horrible Bosses), and Ron Perlman (the Hellboy films). The
ensemble cast also includes Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky,
Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego
Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke.
The battle begins on July 12, 2013. [/quote]

Look, if you're dealing with giant monsters, furthermore, giant
robots...shit's going to get wrecked. So, when you think about
Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim and the on-screen carnage, you
think B-I-G. After all, it's about the human race creating
giant robots to contend with the giant monsters that threaten
the planet.
In an interview with Total Film, Del Toro was asked about the
scale of which his film is dealing with, the maniac responded
with this: "When we’re talking about the physicality of the
fight, we ended up building several blocks of Hong Kong. And
literally demolished them. We built a building and then we took
down the buildings. We built command centres of the robots that
were the size of the house. We started them on hydraulic rigs
that shoot and elevated them and moved them round so you could
really get a sense of the physical nature driving a robot like
this."

involved.

[glow=red,2,300]Idris Elba Looks Kinda SyFy In This ‘Pacific
Rim’ Snapshot[/glow]

[quote]Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ Guillermo
del Toro directed epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim has
been keeping impressively quiet regarding officially released
media. I’ve heard great things from people who have seen more to
do with the project than I have, which is why I’m sort of
surprised by my lackluster reaction to the pic of Idris Elba
below.
