I wonder if the Great Britain Air Command thing means Hunnam and Idris Elba are going to use their own accents

I would laugh my ass off if Charlie Hunnam spoke geordie like his Byker Grove days in this movie "wae'aye man, wee nowt hoose"

I've been wanting a geordie James Bond for years.

Basically it sounds like all the nations entering into the PPDC program to fight against the Kaiju.

 

[obin_gam]

OH *****! It's starting!


BREAKING NEWS: KAIJU ATTACK

 

[TheVileOne]

That's it man, game over! GAME OVER! Monsters are freaking invading San Francisco! The Mayans were right!

 

[obin_gam]

looks like a goblin-shark on steroids

=

 

[redhawk23]

^There were definitely flashes of something in that!

 

[chamber-music]

Well atleast it is New York or Tokyo. Those cities are giant monsters favourite sandbox.

 

[redhawk23]

Do you think that the film will mostly stick to cities actually on the Pacific? I think Sydney is doomed btw.

 

[redhawk23]

Also on the note of Tokyo, keep in mind that this film is being produced by the same people currently working on the new Godzilla film Del Toro has been warned away from using certain locations and set piece ideas.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

I can't wait for this, we should be getting a trailer soon right?

 

[obin_gam]

I can't wait for this, we should be getting a trailer soon right?

It's confirmed to be infront of The Hobbit

 

[chamber-music]

Considering they filmed most the movie in Vancover I figured that might be where most of it is set although they did build an Asian set I think.

Sydney should get destroyed. The monsters should finish what mother nature and Julia Gillard started in Australia

 

[TheVileOne]

So who is Julia Gillard and and what's the story there?

Also on the note of Tokyo, keep in mind that this film is being produced by the same people currently working on the new Godzilla film Del Toro has been warned away from using certain locations and set piece ideas.

Hmmm because in the script the original Kaiju attack was in Japan. This new clip made it sound like San Francisco was the first city ever attacked.

 

[chamber-music]

So who is Julia Gillard and and what's the story there?

She is the current prime minister of Australia who came to power in a bloodless coup

 

[TheVileOne]

LOL chamber-music, I guess you don't like the Labor Parties?

 

[Wolfwood]

Ah hell yeah. I'm so hyped right now.

 

[dude stannis]

LOL chamber-music, I guess you don't like the Labor Parties?

Too be honest, a lot of people hate both Labour and the Libs. Myself included.

 

[gkokujin]

I have to honestly say I do not like the simplicity of the design of the Jaegers.

its rather generic looking...bordering on cheap.

It kinda feels like they said "we don't want it to look like ANYTHING so lets make it SUPER SIMPLE."
I hope it looks great in motion though.


also, does anyone have an issue with giant robots having 4 fingers and a thumb vs 3 fingers and a thumb? idunno, im just picky about that...

 

[terry78]

Simple is practical in war. You don't want it to be too busy.

 

[dude stannis]

Simple is practical to my eyesight. I like being able to tell who is who.
