Pacific Rim Uprising IMAX Trailer – John Boyega and the giant robots take on the monsters

February 15, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.

‘John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.

‘Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.”

The film will hit cinemas March 23rd, 2018. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Pacific Rim Uprising Teaser Trailer – What is a Jaeger & what’s John Boyega doing in one?

July 20, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

WIth this year’s Comic Con starting, some of those planning to promote their upcoming big movies in San Diego are trying to get in ahead of the rush, by releasing some of their material publicly a little early. That includes our first look at Pacific Rim: Uprising, which ditches much of the cast of the first film and director Guillermo Del Toro.

They’re being replaced by the likes of John Boyega and Scott Eastwood (although Rinko Kikuchi, Burn Gorham and Charlie Day will be back), with Daredevil and Spartacus producer Steven S. DeKnight making his feature directorial debut with the movie.

Alongside the teaser somes the message, ‘A new generation of Jaeger Pilots will stand tall for all humanity. What is a Jaeger? It’s you, times a thousand. Witness the next evolution of human invention, with the unveiling of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps Mark VI Jaeger Program, and visit GOJAEGER.COM to discover if you have what it takes to join the biggest heroes ever to walk the Earth.’

Take a look below. The film’s due out next February. [Read more…]

First Official Look At John Boyega In Pacific Rim: Uprising

February 7, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

As Pacific Rim wasn’t quite a big a hit as the studio had hoped, you’d have thought that if they were gonna make a sequel, they would do it quickly. However, they’ve taken their time, with the movie almost being a reboot, with most of the main characters getting replaced and a story that is reported to jump forward in time.

This time around, we won’t be following Charlie Hunnam’s Raleigh Becket, with the central role instead going to John Boyega. Now, thanks to a tweet that gives us our first official look at the actor in character, it’s been confirmed he will be called Pentecost – Stacker Pentecost to be precised, the son of Idris Elba’s character from the first movie.

Not a vast amount more is known about the plot, although it known Boyega will be a Jaeger pilot, and presumably will be using his giant robot to take on more giant monsters spilling out of the ocean. Steven S. DeKnight directs the movie, with Guillermo Del Toro just producing this time. [Read more…]

John Boyega Signs On For Pacific Rim 2

June 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

john-boyegaIt’s all change for Pacific Rim 2. Guillermo Del Toro has stepped away and will no longer write or direct, and it’s expected most of the cast will change. However, Legendary has started piecing together who will star, with the studio announcing that Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ John Boyega is set to take the lead role.

There’s not too much info on the character, other than that Boyega will be the son of Idris Elba’s character from the original film. That suggests there may be a bit of a time jump for this follow up.

Del Toro, who is still onboard as a producer, comments, “I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox. The Pacific Rim universe will be reinforced with him as a leading man as it continues to be a multicultural, multi-layered world. ‘The World saving the world’ was our goal and I couldn’t think of a better man for the job.”

Jurassic World screenwriter Derek Connolly is currently working on the script, with Steven S. DeKnight directing. While no plot details have been released, it’s a safe bet that monsters will once more be threatening the earth, with giant robots our only defence.
