Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim

Synopsis:
Quote:
This project will give the Hellboy filmmaker the opportunity to create two worlds. The first is an alternate version of Earth in the near future, decades after a historic date in November 2012 when the first kaiju, a towering Godzilla-like beast, emerged from a hole in the Pacific Ocean and attacked the city of Osaka, Japan. The second is “The Anteverse,” another universe on the other side of that gaping portal, 5 miles below our ocean’s surface. Since the first attack, the rim has been “spitting out” a variety of gigantic monsters at an increasing rate, which then stride out of the ocean and begin destroying sea-bordering cities, like Tokyo and Los Angeles. In order to combat these monstrous, otherworldly menaces, the military developed the “Jaeger” program, which trains teams of two pilots to jointly operate massive, building-sized mechanized suits of armor and high-tech weaponry.

Let's see... Idris Elba and Rinko Kikuchi in a big-budget monster movie from the mind of Guillermo del Toro.

When do tickets go on sale, again?

So it's like Godzilla meets Gundam meets the Cthulhu episodes of South Park.

Plus it has Charlie Day, and the rest of the cast looks good, and seems to be GDT's response to not being able to do At The Mountains Of Madness, by creating an original story.

When is this projected to come out?

Bad sign already.

Doesn't mean the movie will turn out bad, but it goes to show that Del Toro can't cast his actors adequately, or the movie doesn't really need strong performers.

What've you got against Charlie Hunnam? I'm a fan. Love him in SoA and Undeclared.

I wanted to kill that albino bastard when he shot Jude Law. Way to prove that nothing good ever happens in this world.

Really ? Don't you think the man can't act to save his damn life ?!

He has charisma but his acting skills leave very much to be desired.

For being a wooden plank he deserves a fuckin' emmy.

For what little I saw of SoA I thought Ron Perlman and Katie Sagal did a much better job.

Am I the only one getting a slight Evangelion vibe from the plot summary?

Feli, you're very wrong. He's great. Especially in season 2 of Sons of Anarchy, which was amazing.

Only in terms of genre, one could very well say it has equal similarities to Gundam.

This is as close as we could get to an Evangelion film...directed by Guillermo del Toro. I dig it.

from what i've heard about the movie, it seems like it's a bit of an homage to a lot of japanese monster/mech/tokusatsu stuff, be it anime or live action, but with an american spin on it, and now a spanish twist :D
