Pacific Rim

[terry78]

Cameron honestly puts forth effort into 3D. If something is converted he makes certain it's like it was originally conceived for 3D the first time.

 

[dude stannis]

Happens more often than reported.

It seems to be pretty obvious on screen too. These films generally tend to be bloated and have characters disappear in and out of the films at random. I.E. The Pirates sequels.

If you had an agrument to make, you just threw it out of the window. And that's for 3D haters too.

Well he's correct. I am a 2D ****e! t:

The Titanic re-release and The Avengers beg to differ. They weren't overly dark like hastily-converted films were, and the former had some amazing 3D depth. Honestly, Titanic 3D looked like it was shot in native 3D, that's how thorough and detailed it was.

I dunno about Avengers. I saw Avengers in IMAX 3-D and i didn't think there was alot of depth to alot of the scenes. On numerous occasions , i removed my 3-d glasses and saw that nothing was blurred. As it so often is the case with converted 3-d movies.
As for Titanic having good 3-d despite being a converted movie.
THat's due to the fact that James Cameron has to power to ask for the money and time to convert the movie.
Cameron worked for 60 weeks and spend 18 million on the conversion process. Not to mention that he was there from start to finish looking at every shot.
Those are the factors that work against converted movies. Most movies these days are churned out within a year and it's during post. prod. that the director must also work on the conversion process. It's very time consuming.

I have nothing against 3D by default, but I trust Del Toro and will watch this in 2D, if available.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Well he's correct. I am a 2D ****e! t:

You shut your little ****e mouth!

 

[Matt Mortem]

When the **** are we getting the trailer? The pictures that have been released look amazing!

 

[terry78]

Probably no teasers until Nov./Dec. with a WB flick.

 

[Dr Lee]

what movies are coming out this year that it could be attached to?

 

[terry78]

Hobbit maybe. Even Lincoln or Wreck-It Ralph though they're both Disney properties.

 

[Liam_H]

Definitely attached to Hobbit but there's a chance it'll get premiered before that. Nothing in November for WB but maybe Cloud Atlas at the end of October.

 

[Boom]

I would bet my right testicle on it being attached to The Hobbit.

 

[TheVileOne]

Well didn't Del Toro say they were going radio silence until December-ish?

 

[matrix_ghost]

I'm going for Hobbit.
Lincoln will probably follow the typical trend of most movies released during the awards season. Which is limited release and later on expanding .
Hobbit is going to be the big blockbuster .
Either that or *shudder* Twilight.

 

[DrDoom]

I'd be content with just a screenshot of a robot or monster
As far as I know all we've gotten is the poster with part of a robot's shoulder

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

We're lucky to have even gotten that at this point in time.

 

[Destructus86]

I could stare at the released pic for hours....mmmm

 

[KangConquers]

I think there will have been greater crimes than a great movie not being driven into oblivion with sequels and rip-offs, frankly...

That said, I don't think this one will have a problem making a sizable profit, so people who want that future, whatever, Robotech movie, will probably get it eventually. Even if it failed I don't think that would cause a moratorium on movies with giant robots. It's not exactly like John Carter where people are simply confused about what they are seeing in the trailer.



It was written by him and I assume he was in on the art design. It's a great film, what didn't you like about it? You're confusing people seeing it with it being good--I don't think it was a big blockbuster but it was still a great movie. There was no bad critical reception so you must be talking box office numbers...they're not the same thing. That said, I think it is one of those movies that "broke even" or made the minimum profit. I don't expect a sequel, but there's nothing wrong with the movie. It's good.

If this movie doesn't do well, we'll also never see a big budget Guillermo Del Torro movie again for a long time.

Andrew Stanton (a 2 time academy award winner with an average box office gross of $700 M WW) will forever going to have difficulty getting financed for big budget live action films post John Carter. If Guillermo Del Torro has a similar bomb, it doesn't matter how much fanboy cred he has, he won't be financed for a long ass time.

 

[Octoberist]

Knowing Del Toro, I know the designs will be good. I just want something iconic and non-generic unlike the new Robocop suit..

 

[dark_b]

when you watch a del Toro movie and even if the studio destroys the movie in the editing room you still get an unique looking movie.

the designs can not fail.i know it. this guy has way to much imagination.

when del Toro said that he will not make PR 3D everyone jumped in the air and was happy. it looks like noone has a problem that he changed him mind.i dont have a problem. this is a business and he will do what he needs to do to stay a director in hollywood. but its funny that noone has a problem that he changed his mind. when smaller directors change their mind they are hyposcrits. but not our favorite fanboy director del Toro right?

we can be happy that WB at least gave them enough time. everything over 20 weeks is good.

But this was clearly not del Toros decision so he shouldn't be the one getting blamed.

every director who was a fan of film changed his mind because hollywood is a business and studios are now forcing 3d on directors.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Here are his quotes:

What happened was, in the weeks and months following Comic-Con, what I asked from the studio was to agree to four points that I wanted to do. The more the ILM shots arrived, the more I realized that there were only a few shots that would miniaturize. I asked the studio, number one, that we would not hyper-stereo-lize the thing. That we would not force 3D on the beauty shots. That we would keep the giant dimensions. They agreed. Number two, they agreed to something very unusual. Normally a conversion takes a few weeks. I asked to start it immediately so we could take the full 40 weeks to do the conversion. As an example, ‘Titanic’ took about 50 weeks to convert.

The final thing that I asked that they agreed to, which was amazing, was that I asked them to give me an extra budget, which is considerable, to actually have ILM composite the shots that are CG native 3D. We’re not giving elements. ILM is giving the composite in 3D from the get-go. That’s a huge, huge element. Now I’m going to be involved in supervising it. What can I tell you? I changed my mind. I’m not running for office. I can do a Romney.

I believe him. I think he truly did change his mind and he goes into detail why. It may have happened any way, but at least he got his requests fulfilled with it.

Pacific Rim will be front and center at the Legendary Entertainment booth during New York Comic Con 2012. Director Guillermo del Toro will headline the activities when he signs the below exclusive piece of art at the Legendary booth on Friday, October 12 at 2 pm. The art will also be unveiled at the Legendary panel on Friday, October 12 at 5:15 pm. The art was created by Spanish artist Raúl Monge (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy 2), who serves as a Concept Artist for Pacific Rim.

"Raúl is one of my top concept designers. The idea with this particular piece was to emulate an old WWII propaganda poster/flyer that went along with the world we were creating,” said del Toro. “It symbolizes rationing - voluntary work force, no guts, no glory kind of heroism."

In other Pacific Rim activities, del Toro is also announcing a Pacific Rim graphic novel that will serve as a prequel to the upcoming film. A must-read for anyone who wants to see the movie, the graphic novel will serve as a prequel, providing important details on the characters and the lead up to the story arc of the movie. Written by the film’s writer Travis Beacham (Clash of the Titans), the graphic novel is written in three distinct parts – covering the in-world history from the first attack up to just before the movie, Additionally, the Legendary booth will, once again, be home to the pilot costumes worn by Charlie Hunnam and the female Russian pilot in the film.
