Alternate ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer Released Featuring New Footage

by Shawn Madden

Just a short while ago, at the International CES, an alternate trailer featuring some new footage was shown for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming sci-fi film Pacific Rim. Check it out below. It’s not a lot of new footage, but some is better than none right?

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 (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Pacific Rim hits theaters July 12th.

Legendary Pictures Already Moving Forward With ‘Pacific Rim’ Sequel

by Shawn Madden

Guillermo Del Toro’s epic monsters versus robots flick Pacific Rim won’t be in theaters until next summer, but with all the hype around the trailer (trust me…you guys are going to lose it when you see it) and the movie in general, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are taking no time moving forward with the sequel.

Travis Beacham, who worked on the first film, has been hired by Legendary to write the script for the sequel. The script will be co-written by Del Toro, although there’s no word as far as if he will direct the follow up. He has quite a few films on his plate at the moment, but I can’t see him not returning for a sequel to a film that he seemed quite passionate about.

Pacific Rim will hit theaters July 12th, 2013.

Check Out The Trailer For ‘3, 2, 1…Frankie Go Boom’!

by Shawn Madden

So, every so often a trailer comes around that reveals a comedy that everyone should be adding to their “must see” list. This definitely looks like one. With a cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Chris O’Dowd, Lizzy Caplan, Chris Noth and Ron Perlman as a woman…how could you NOT want to see this?

Frank Bartlett (Charlie Hunnam) has been tortured, embarrassed and humiliated by his brother Bruce (Chris O’Dowd) – usually on film – his entire life. Now that Bruce is finally off drugs and has turned his life around, things should be different. They are not.

3, 2, 1…Frankie Go Boom is in theaters October 12.

Why We Need An ‘Iron Fist’ Movie Next

by Shawn Madden

Ever since the success of ‘The Avengers’ Marvel Studios have been hard at work on their next projects and even giving us small hints at it. The most exciting of these to me comes from a quote from Kevin Fiege:

“And, we’ve got a lot of other characters we’re prepping and getting ready for film debuts: the world of martial arts…”

After reading that line right there any and every Marvel fan knew who he was talking about…Danny Rand aka Iron Fist. And this wasn’t the first time we had heard about them developing a Iron Fist movie. There has been talks as far as back as 2000 regarding making this film. Ray Park had been signed on to play with Kirk Wong (‘The Big Hit’) set to direct from a script written by John Turman. Production delays began from the start and pushed back all the way to 2003. Steve Carr (‘Next Friday’) replayed Kirk Wong as director and once again the film was placed on hold all the way until 2007. No news or talks about the movie surfaced again until 2009 when Marvel Studios first announced they were working on “creative ways to launch its lesser-known properties”.

The time wasn’t right then when comic movies were just filler but I think the time is right now. Comic book movies have become the summer blockbusters. They break records and fill seats better than most movies and I think we need a splash of something different. And I think that different would be an Iron Fist movie. A superhero movie that wouldn’t so much rely on gadgets or super powers but hand to hand combat…with super powers mixed in of course. And hey if you don’t trust me…Damon Lindelof agrees that it would make a cool movie.

Ed Brubaker and Matt Fractions run on The Immortal Iron Fist (which Brubaker won  an Eisner for in 2008) would be a great basis for a movie. You throw in a great cast with a good leading man, a good martial arts/action director and then slap that Marvel logo (after ‘The Avengers’ that logo alone is going to be a money maker for films) and you have the potential for making a great film that can be loved by not only comic fans but the general movie going audience.

So, who could handle a lead role in an Iron Fist film? I’ve picked four actors that I feel could definitely pull it off. But feel free to comment in the box below if you have some ideas of your own.

Ryan Phillipe

Ryan Gosling

Garrett Hedlund

Charlie Hunnam

I chose these actors due to their age range, knowledge in the department and drawing power. We need a good lead role that isn’t too huge but isn’t a nobody at the same time.

In order to keep the comic book movies coming we need to keep the movies and ideas fresh and keep the audiences Filling seats. We have yet to explore “the world of martial arts” and as not just a comic fan but a movie fan I can see this being something that will spark interest in the masses. As much as I would love to see ‘Ant-Man’ or ‘Guardians Of the Galaxy’ hit the screen over the next two years…my choice for the next Marvel project goes to Danny Rand…aka The Immortal Iron Fist.
