Pacific Rim - Part 1

[Octoberist]

As you can see, WB can't even sort out a Justice League. They simply can't compete with Marvel. Period. And it's because Marvel is its own division and studio OWNed by Disney, while WB operates the DC movies directly, but still has the final say. Even though DC only has power over their comics but not their movies from the looks of it. It's just a different situation between the two.

Interesting...

I remember hearing actually that Godzilla completely overshadowed both PR and MOS at Comic Con this year? They said people went absolutely insane over it

I mean how does this unknown movie already get a guaranteed sequel, possible merchandise etc yet they arent saying much on Godzilla or if they plan on doing a franchise?

Same thing with Man of Steel too. PR is already getting viral marketing yet we are hardly getting anything on MOS.

So why is Legendary throwing everything at the PR movie yet putting Godzilla and MOS on the back burner?

teh sequel will only happen if the first movie makes money. some writters are hired and in the time when the first movie is promoted its normal in hollywood that they talk about sequels. nothing is guaranteed.

How are they pushing it aside? That film hasn't even entered into production yet.

This film, production is done, its in post and they've seen how it is coming together.

I think they did this for Green Lantern too.

[dark_b]

it would be great if the trailer leaked. i dont know how but it would be nice. 7 days is not an option

I never know how to read that site, is it coming out today?

[Liam_H]

No, that just means its rated today. Not coming until The Hobbit.

[craigdbfan]

It might be earlier than that as it seems it may pop up on the site within 5 days.

Yay trailer!

So how many Jaegers do we know of already? There's mean to be 11 right?

1. China
2. America
3. Russia
4. Australia
5. Japan (obviously)
6. UK (rumoured, can't wait to see this one)
7. France (rumoured)
8. Germany (Rumoured
9. ????
10. ????
11. ????

Maybe South Africa, Brazil and Indonesia for the last three?

[craigdbfan]

South Africa, Brazil, France, UK, & Germany aren't part of the Pacific Rim. So it's doubtful they have a Jaeger and while Indonesia is part of the PR they wouldn't be able to afford one to be quite frank.

Just going off wealth and GDP I'd say the most likely candidates to fill the rest of those spots would be South Korea, Singapore, Chile, Canada , New Zealand, & Brunei.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Just as I wrote that I read the memo from a Chilean diplomat (from the virals) and it talks about Tacit Ronin (I'm assuming that's the obsolete Jaeger that the Americans will pilot) and the Diablo Intercept (apparently from Chile which is a "Mark 2").

Actually, both of them are South American Jaegers.

[craigdbfan]

Oh I see. That makes things even more interesting.

One of them definitely seems to belong to Chile as for the other one I guess it's a communal South American Jaeger or something.

[Octoberist]

Funny how Tacit Ronin sounds more culturally Japanese than their own Jaeger.

The leaked documents indicate that Chile has at least one, possibly 2.

Actually, my bad. Did a little more digging. Tacit Ronin is the German Jaeger.

So far, we have:

Gipsy Danger - America
Cherno Alpha - Russia
Crimson Typhoon - China
Striker Eureka - Australia
Tacit Ronin - Germany
Diablo Intercept - Chile
Coyote Tango - Japan

Speaking of which, here's a website which has compiled all the known info for the five Jaegers that have had their blueprints released: http://toysrevil.blogspot.com/2012/1...ote-tango.html

[craigdbfan]

That's odd that the Germans would have one seeing as they're not even in the Pacific Rim.

[GreenKToo]

I guess its a case of either you help now, or you can wait and be wiped out later.

[craigdbfan]

I guess the Tacit Ronan being German makes kind of sense seeing as Chile has a bunch of German settlements so I can see the reason for housing it there it's just that geographically it doesn't make sense that they'd store their Jaeger there alongside the Interceptor.

Anyone have the site which indicates the Tacit Ronan is German?

[redhawk23]

I like what that site did with this pic.

[craigdbfan]

That's pretty awesome. I seriously can't wait to see these bad boys in motion.
