15 Monster Secrets Revealed After Our 'Pacific Rim' Set Visit
5 hours ago | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Precious little information has been made available about Guillermo del Toro's much anticipated Pacific Rim, this summer's "monsters vs. giant robots" movie that opens on July 12. It all changes right now. We flew to Toronto back in March 2012 to visit the Pacific Rim set at Pinewood Studios on day 87 of a scheduled 103-day shoot. As we walked around the production offices (the film's working title was Still Seas) and the massive set of "The Hong Kong Incident" and chatted with del Toro, the cast and crew, we gleaned insight into the secretive production about giant monsters called Kaiju that have risen from a "bridge between two dimensions" beneath the Pacific Ocean to wage war against mankind in the near future. In retaliation, humans have...

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to Bring Supernatural Action to Outliers
6 hours ago | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Dread Central favorites Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan are one of Hollywood's most prolific writing/filmmaking duos, and neither of them is showing any signs of slowing down. Their next project will be a tale of the supernatural called Outliers. Read on for details.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox has acquired Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan's pitch Outliers for Peter Chernin to produce.
The pair, best known for writing Saw IV, V, VI and VII, have become a hot commodity among the studios, landing such high-profile gigs as God of War, which Universal Pictures is moving quickly on, and Rise for Warner Bros. as well as a two-month rewrite job on Pacific Rim on set with Guillermo del Toro.
The idea for Outliers, which is dubbed a supernatural action film, came from David Karlak, who is attached to direct. Plot details are being kept under wraps. »

Special Features - 5 Movies That Divide Opinion
6 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Helen Murdoch on five films that have really divided opinion....
Man of Steel has taken the UK and Us box office by storm but it has divided cinemagoers and critics alike. Some have hailed Zack Snyder’s all actioner, whereas others have condemned its uneven storytelling and hectic action. Watching a film is always a deeply personal experience and one film can be adored by millions and equally hated by millions. That got me thinking about what other films have sparked such fierce debate amongst movie goers...
You only have to type Prometheus into Google to see the range of criticism and appreciation for Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien-verse. Some hailed it as a return to form and welcomed the return of the Xenomorph. On the other hand people hated Scott’s new incarnation so much that there are hundreds of blogs dedicated to Prometheus criticism. »

Pacific Rim 2 All Set To Go, We Just Need To See How Pacific Rim Does
6 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Everything – and I do mean Everything – is a franchise now. No such thing as a standalone film has been made or ever will be made again. There will always be a sequel. So it’s no surprise that Pacific Rim, a film that has not even come out yet, has already resulted in the script for Pacific Rim 2.
Legendary Pictures commissioned a sequel script for Pacific Rim way back in December 2012. Director Guillermo del Toro has hinted at the possible sequel, and Travis Beacham has supposedly written that script. Now we just have to see how Pacific Rim actually does at the box office.
But why stop there? Pacific Rim also has a prequel graphic novel in the works and a video game tie-in. I expect to hear news of a theme park ride before long.
Now, I love Guillermo del Toro, and I’m legitimately looking forward to Pacific Rim, »

Cool TV Spot for ‘Pacific Rim’
7 hours ago | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Warner Bros. Pictures has released a pretty cool TV Spot for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming robots-versus-kaiju epic film “Pacific Rim.”
The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Day.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge.
But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. »

‘Pacific Rim 2′ Mapped Out But Dependent on ‘Pacific Rim’ Box Office Success
7 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
With a summer blockbuster as big as Guillermo del Toro’s robots vs. monsters movie Pacific Rim, it’s understandable that Legendary Pictures would begin planning for a sequel, and had already commissioned a sequel script from Travis Beacham by December 2012. Based on this fact, and the fact that del Toro has been dropping hints about the sequel’s development for some time now, you’d expected Pacific Rim 2 to be a done deal already.
There are, of course, some film franchises that jump right into multi-sequel planning without waiting to see how the first film performs; Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy is an example of this, as is Disney’s ...

Jim Beaver, the awesome character from Deadwood, Justified, Supernatural and Breaking Bad, has nabbed a role in Guillermo del Toro’s next-next project, Crimson Peak. He announced the news himself on his Fb:
Okay, I’m back again with that big deal that I couldn’t talk about but couldn’t shut up about either. Well, now I can talk about it, because today it came true. Guillermo del Toro, director of Pan’S Labyrinth, Hellboy, and the upcoming Pacific Rim, has cast me in one of five leading roles in his new film Crimson Peak, a Gothic ghost story also starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jessica Chastain, and Charlie Hunnam. We start shooting in Toronto in January.
As he says, Crimson Peak stars Charlie Hunnam, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jessica Chastain, perhaps Mia Wasikowski, and now one Jim Beaver. »

Guillermo Del Toro Has Big Plans Should Pacific Rim Do Well at the Box Office
8 hours ago | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
We’ve been covering the awesome Jaeger and Kaiju goodness coming out of Guillermo Del Torro’s Pacific Rim. It looks awesome, but it’s hard to give a firm verdict until we’ve seen the movie. But the feedback from the hype must be positive since we’re already hearing “sequel” being whispered.
According to Deadline director Guillermo Del Toro is already working on a pitch for the second Pacific Rim installment and more, saying,
Having had two to three years pass from the first Pacific Rim to the second movie, we can also prepare a good video game, continue the graphic novel and continue the mythology.
Later in the article they say that Legendary CEO Thomas Tull is more concerned with the current Pacific Rim and wants to wait and see some box office numbers.
We’ll keep you posted on everything we hear for a possible sequel to Pacific Rim. »

Godzilla Set Photo: What Lurks Behind Those Radioactive Doors?
8 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
This summer monsters will be rising from the sea and wreaking havoc on cities located on the Pacific Ocean. but don't use the "G" word to describe them. Yes, "Godzila"-- our own American bastardization of the Japanese "Gojira"-- has come to be kind of a generic term for big city-destroying monsters, the way kleenex and band-aid have grown separate from their original brands. In this summer's Pacific Rim Guillermo del Toro is bringing his own imaginative take to the destructive monster genre, but don't forget about good old Godzilla. He's preparing his comeback. and he might be lurking behind that radioactive containment door. The above photo, posted to Facebook by Legendary Pictures, comes from the set of Godzilla, the remake currently underway with Monsters's Gareth Edwards at the helm. Unlike when they made the 1954 Japanese original, Godzilla won't be a guy in a rubber suit this time, »

Here at Dread Central we have an insane amount of love for "Supernatural" star Jim Beaver. Having said that, it's with great pleasure that we report Beaver has signed on for active duty in Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak. Read on for details.

New Pacific Rim TV Spot - Let's Go Fishing
11 hours ago | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Warner Bros. has released a fifth TV spot for Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim, and it packs a big robot punch of new footage! I bet that this movie ends up getting a better rating, and being more positively embraced by fans than Man of Steel. At the same time, I don't think it will make as much money. Either way, Warner Bros. wins. Reviews for the film have started leaking out, and so far it seems like everyone loves it.
I'm curious to see what happens with this one. The movie looks awesome, and it hits theaters on July 12th!

Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak Adds Jim Beaver To The Cast
11 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
While Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming robots vs. alien movie, Pacific Rim, promises to amaze us on one scale, his Gothic ghost story Crimson Peak is a whole other sort of awesome. At least that’s how it sounds to me, based entirely on the words ‘Gothic ghost story’ and ‘Guillermo del Toro’ being spoken in the same breath. Today, the director has added another member to the already impressive cast list.
Supernatural star Jim Beaver has signed on to play one of the five lead characters in Crimson Peak. He joins a cast that so far includes Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Charlie Hunnam and Benedict Cumberbatch. Beaver sounds pretty damn excited about the whole thing too, as he said on his Facebook page:

Collider Goes to the Set of Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim; Watch a Video Blog Recap or Read 20 Things to Know About the Film

The street is in ruins. Cars are overturned. Glass is everywhere. Fallen parts of huge skyscrapers litter the alleyways and streets. Hong Kong has become a war zone, and nothing is left unscathed after the latest attack. As I walk on the battered streets to take in what's happened, I'm left marveling at the size and scope of the destruction, and I can't believe it's all fake. But let me back up a second. It's March 29, 2012 and I'm on a plane flying back to Los Angeles from Toronto. I just spent the past two days in the great Canadian city where Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim is filming some of its Hong Kong scenes. While I've been to numerous film sets around the world, I have never seen the level of devestation on a sound stage like I did yesterday with a few other online reporters. So much more after the jump. »

Guillermo del Toro Talks Getting Back in the Director’s Chair, the Evolution of the Script, Creating the World on a Giant Scale, and More on the Set of Pacific Rim
11 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Like all of you, I'm a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro. I think he's one of the best directors working in the business, and watching him struggle to get a film made the past few years has been awful (he last directed 2008's Hellboy II: The Golden Army). However, the long wait is finally over. On July 12th, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures will release Pacific Rim, and I couldn't be more excited to see it. Last year when del Toro and his team were filming in Toronto, I got to visit the set with a few other online reporters. During a break in filming, del Toro sat down with us for an extended interview. During a wide- ranging conversation, he talked about how the project came together, how the script changed along the way, the world of Pacific Rim, the MPAA, the monsters and the robots, the visual style, »

Charlie Day Talks How He Got Involved with the Project, Bringing Levity to the Story, the Giant Sets, and More on the Set of Pacific Rim
11 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If you're a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you know Charlie Day is extremely funny. However, while you might think Guillermo del Toro only cast him in Pacific Rim to make some jokes, he revealed during an on set interview that while he does provide some of the "much needed levity," his character: "Gets thrust into the story in a way that his life is seriously at risk and it becomes a little more action oriented and a little more horror movie-esque. So, he kinda bounces back between being humorous and also being real. He’s not funny in the way that the guys from Sunny or the guys from Horrible Bosses are funny, ‘cause he has to be real. Because the movie — you have to buy the monsters and buy the world and you don’t want to be taken completely out of it. It’s been interesting, »

Ron Perlman Talks Developing His Own Character, Practical Effects vs. CG, His Relationship with Guillermo del Toro, & More on the Set of Pacific Rim

If you're searching for the brain, heart, bones, or any of the vital organs from a freshly killed Kaiju, you would end up making a deal with Hannibal Chow (Ron Perlman). The reason is he's got the exclusive contract on the fallen monsters after the Jaegers kill the beasts in battle. And from what I saw when I visited the set of Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim last year, business is booming. During a break in filming, I got to participate in a group interview with Ron Perlman. He talked about his character, the way he talks and looks, getting cast, collaborating with del Toro, the practical sets, and so much more. Hit the jump for what he had to say. Question: Did you have to be in Sons of Anarchy to get this job? Ron Perlman: Yes. Because there’s a few of you... Perlman: It seems »

Toronto - We're in China. Well, technically, we're in Hong Kong by way of Toronto, standing on a soundstage that has been transformed into a city street that appears to have been wildly smashed to pieces, but when you're in the middle of it looking around, it's pretty convincing. We're in China, and the giant monsters were evidently here right before us.
