Pacific Rim Monsters to Be Huge and Real Says Idris Elba

Here is what Idris Elba had to say about Pacific Rim, trying not to compare it to Godzilla.

"Godzilla would throw out the wrong sort of image, I think. We are talking about some big MF-ers. There's a lot of actuality in this one because he's created huge sets. I mean, we've taken over four sets in Pinewood in Toronto and built a lot of the stuff that you might see. Yes, there is huge CGI I'm sure, but we built a lot of stuff too.

Is anyone else hopeful that Pacific Rim will get a toyline? I am, the premise of giant monsters and giant robots to fight them always interests me. I would just love to get merchandise from the movie.

Provided the robots and monsters look great of course.

We don't know what type of robots the movie will have huh? Whether they'll be specialized super powered robots with special abilities, of if they'll be militaristic in nature?

Yea... how the hell was Minority Report's ending "wishy washy". It was a great, ambiguous ending.

And Munich is one of the best films of the 00s.

There was nothing ambiguous about Minority Report's ending.

 

[The Morningstar]

There was nothing ambiguous about Minority Report's ending.

Yes there was. Was it a real happy ending? Did Anderton really get out of being "haloed"? Or was that all a halo induced dream/hallucination?

 

[Doctor Jones]

I think it was. Where was it implied that it was a dream?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

why is there talk of minority report? anywho, I cannot wait for this to come out, and it's great to hear that they're actually building sets. this movie could be huge.

 

[terry78]

I knew they were gonna make toys. We'll be getting some decent merch from this one I think. And you know little boys will love it.

 

[Paroxysm]

Good, we'll be able to see what the monsters look like before the movie comes out.

 

[The Morningstar]

I think it was. Where was it implied that it was a dream?

Earlier in the film the guy guarding all the "haloed" convicts mentions that it's said that when being haloed it's like having life flash before your eyes and your dreams come true.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yes there was. Was it a real happy ending? Did Anderton really get out of being "haloed"? Or was that all a halo induced dream/hallucination?

All the ambiguity was taken out of it. This isn't INCEPTION we are talking about. It didn't end like the true ending of Brazil.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Earlier in the film the guy guarding all the "haloed" convicts mentions that it's said that when being haloed it's like having life flash before your eyes and your dreams come true.

I don't think that was meant to be taken literally.

 

[The Morningstar]

Yea well i'm not the only one who thinks that. There is a whole section on it's wiki page and many critics have spoken about it.

The fact that people talk about it and question it makes it ambiguous. And it makes it a better film. Instead of the happily ever after that doesn't really fit the tone of the film, there is a possibility of a bitter sweet ending.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

so howzaboot that pacific rim huh? gonna be crazy me thinks.

Man u on drugz.

There's not really any proof or suggestion that the ending is fake other than crack theories and speculation.

Exclusive: Screenwriters Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton Talk Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim'

Filmmakers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (pictured from right to left) have worked on plenty of horror films in just the last eight years, from the Feast movies to the Saw movies to My Bloody Valentine 3D and Piranha 3D. But none of those films were as big as Pacific Rim. Literally. For director Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited monster mash promises to delight horror fans young and old with the largest assortment of giant creatures since Jurassic Park last went haywire. I recently spoke with Dunstan and Melton about their work as script doctors on Travis Beacham's Pacific Rim screenplay. Find out what they had to say about the film after the jump.

"Pacific Rim is Guillermo del Toro's new movie," said Patrick Melton of working on the film, "which is coming out in 2013. It is going to kick major ass. It's giant monsters versus giant robots, and Guillermo del Toro is the only person who could bring it to you. That was an amazing experience, because we read the script, and so we went in knowing what the producers and studio wanted us to do; and we went in and met Guillermo, and he started showing us the tests by ILM. They were just mind-blowing. I think they'll probably show something at Comic-Con 2012. Because they should be done by then, or close to done by then. I'm telling you, it's gonna rule Hall H when Guillermo, the king of geeks, comes out and shows some of the stuff he's shot. People are gonna be blow away."

"We've been denied a Guillermo del Toro movie for a few years now," added Marcus Dunstan, "and we had the feeling in sharing some time with him that there's been a well, that became a dam, that became a crushing force waiting to burst and give everything to Pacific Rim. I think he's the Santa Claus of fantasy, and he's going to gift everyone with an experience. Bring dad, bring the kids, bring everybody, and hold on."

"This is a PG movie," said Melton. "Most of his stuff is pretty edgy, for the most part. Nothing below PG-13 that I can think of. So this is his sort of four-quadrant movie. But it's got all the traits of a Guillermo movie, with the monsters and the younger characters and the things that go bump in the night… It's pretty great."

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

You know, before I was excited for this movie. After reading that, I'm amped! It's a good thing I have 2012 to tide me over until then.

 

[terry78]

This will be one for the dads to take their sons to right here it sounds like.

 

[Still Wynning]

"Santa Claus of Fantasy"?

I like the sound of that. t:

 

[Asgard]

No way theyre going to make a giant monsters vs robots live action movie and have a PG rating.

PG-13 at the very least.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

so howzaboot that pacific rim huh

Relax, it's a movie that we do not have much information on, so the conversation can go offtopic at times.


And with Minority, I never thought of the ending as ambiguous. It's like saying that every movie with a dream or drug sequence never actually happened. It was the same issue people brought up with Inception and Cobb in Mombasa.

 

[Octoberist]

In a recent interview, Del Toro mentioned that Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton don't have the best resume but they are very talented duo who haven't had the chance to prove themselves.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I think that Del Toro would help rewrite anyway.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

This movie is going to be so huge it's not even funny...
