Pacific Rim (2013)

I'm sold by this project like a 5-year old girl in a Thai auction.

Plus I'm a fan of Idris Elba's work.

I'd love to see Charlie pilot a giant robot.

Total Film had a chance to talk with the director and was kind enough to share:

Del Toro: So much of the creation of the movie was having the best creative experience I’ve ever had in Hollywood.

Total Film: What sort of scale are you working on?

Del Toro: When we’re talking about the physicality of the fight, we ended up building several blocks of Hong Kong. And literally demolished them. We built a building and then we took down the buildings.

We built command centres of the robots that were the size of the house. We started them on hydraulic rigs that shoot and elevated them and moved them round so you could really get a sense of the physical nature driving a robot like this.

Total Film: How did Charlie Hunnam get cast?

Del Toro: The funny thing is Charlie was one of my only two choices for the prince of Hellboy II: The Golden Army. I met with him. He screen tested. I loved Charlie before Sons Of Anarchy. He always brought a certain honesty. He’s the kind of guy that women will love who guys won’t hate.

He’s the right side of honest and good looking that you don’t want to punch him in the face. You want to have a pint with the guy. You want to take him to the pub. There’s male bonding energy with this guy that I thought was perfect for the character.

Pacific Rim hits theatres July 12, 2013.

Not a huge Del Toro fan but I'll check this one out; (really) good cast. After watching all four seasons of SOA + Green Street Hooligans his assessment of Hunnam seems to be dead-on.

How pissed must Elba be? People are finally taking notice/interest and he's damn-near 40. To be honest, I think the guy has a good look but I've never really thought he brought anything special to any of the characters he's played not named Stringer Bell.

Guillermo del Toro Continues to Make Pacific Rim Sound Awesome

Guillermo del Toro is deep into production on Pacific Rim - his, in short, giant robots versus giant monsters epic which is opening July 17, 2013. The man has already done a bit of talking to Total Film about what's to come and now more quotes from his interview have hit the web.

Via CBM, a few choice quotes from the print interview:



"We had a Tokyo scene that we shot here in Toronto. We had several Hong Kong scenes and a few scenes in Australia, through the television. We briefly see the kaiju take over San Francisco. The whole Pacific Rim needs a sense of danger."

"We take the battles far and above! Two or three of them happen in places where there have never been a battle between kaiju and robots. From the bottom of the ocean to the atmosphere of the Earth. We have a battle in a storm at sea. Every battle we try to do differently. One is seen from the point of view of a single person. We never cut away from that point of view."
