Pacific Rim

[redhawk23]

I got to be honest a media blackout for a movie of this size sounds ridiculous. The budget on this movie is like $250 million, media blackout is the last thing they should be doing. Comic-Con is great and all but its only a small sampling of the audience. They need to release some stuff soon to start building the anticipation.

Avatar didn't release a damn thing until 4 months before its release date. Now I agree that July isn't December but I disagree that movies have to start promotion a year ahead of time.

Works for Lord of the Rings .

The reason Avatar can do that is because its James freaking Cameron. Love the guy but Del Toro isn't Cameron.

Yeah he actually makes good movies

 

[TheVileOne]

Doesn't matter to general audiences.

Early promotion is always good , just don't spoil everything.
Prometheus for me is a good example of a movie being promoted early on ( well not a year early LOL) and still not spoiling everything.

Plus Avatar had a different promotion then then most movies.
For Avatar Cameron needed to convice the world of 3-d , hence why in June 2009 James Cameron first showed footage of Avatar at the Cine- Expo ( Europe's equivalent of SHowest) , July 2009 footage was shown at CC followed by Avatar Day somehwere in Aug or Sept. 2009.
Avatar Day was also a worldwide event .
And in Nov 2009 they had a pretty long ass trailer ( dunno the exact time but it was somewhere around 3.5 min mark).

I think an unusual marketing approach like what WB did TDK and TDKR , to show the prologue with certain movies , can definately spread the world fast.
Hobbit would definately be a good candidate.

Introducing the new comedy series on FX: It's always sunny in the pacific

 

[marcvader]

Damn, Ron looks short there.

 

[Dr Lee]

Hellboy is in this??

EDIT - Is Humman using his natural accent or a US one?

 

[dark_b]

now i understand why Hunnman is in this movie. he is in Son of Anarchy with Perlman.

That works. Perlman is the older guy/muscle like Frank, and Del Toro is the brains/Fat Mac.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The guy with the cap is really short.

I hope he keeps his British one but I have a feeling they'll use the American one. His British one is

You have never watched Always Sunny?

I don't think he can still speak in his original British accent.

His been in the U.S so long now that his regular accent is a British/American mid atlantic hybrid now.

I like how Rinko towers over Day.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Yeah but take away her heels and she's probably the same height.

With that said, will Idris use his natural british accent also ?

Awesome stuff, what's the shooting locations again? Is it just Toronto?


Also I was reading this that was really interesting.

Del Toro drew inspiration from Francisco Goya's The Colossus, and hopes to evoke the same "sense of awe" with the film's battles.

 

[HighFivingMF]

It didn't occur me Del Toro picked up most of the cast from FX.

 

[terry78]

Makes you think.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Del Toro's Always Sunny cameo is this season, right? Not last season?

 

[dark_b]

thank god that he was joking about the blackout

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Those pics are great. So excited for this movie.
