IT'S OVER

It won't fail.

Little kids love movies like this.

it may be fun.

I'm actually sort of annoyed by Charlie Day in the commercials though..

the trouble is that it's a film made for actual nerds rather than ordinary plebs who think they're nerds because they like the big bang theory
the best you can hope for is cult status

It'll make a profit for sure. will it be up there with Ironman or Man of Steel? I'd say 50/50 on the chances of it being a high earner.

>>34313410 (OP)

its a gamble for the studio and del toro

normal people havent heard of pacific rim like they have superheors or transformers so if this doenst make a big profit then del toro is fucked and will go back to $25 million budget indie movies.

>>34313604
Why does something so insignificant manage to make you emotionally upset?

Haven't you reached full maturity yet?

Nope, the adverts make it look like transformers.

They blew it.

>>34313646
i don't think that would necessarily be a bad thing

>>34313653
>emotionally upset
dat redundancy

I had never heard of it before. I didnt even know this pacific rim was a "thing" before. It looks like transformers and I have no interest.

This movie is going to absolutely bomb

isn't transformers enormously successful?
how is looking like that a bad thing from a marketing perspective?

>>34313682
Calm down, sugartits. You might get physically upset.

Transformers was a shit that escaped from Hell because it had the worst cast ever assembled for a plot that took itself way too seriously.

People just want giant robots beating the fuck out of each other and/or other things. That's what Pacific Rim's giving them.

its got "John Carter" written all over it.

nobody except robot fanboys and weeaboo godzilla faggots have heard of it.

with a budget of $180 million plus marketing of $100 million

this movie needs to make $600 million to turn a profit.

>>34313653
>sort of annoyed
>emotionally upset

It just seems he will be that typical nerd in the movie with stupid dialogue and nothing else.

I like the guy, that's why I'm hoping I'm just being making dumb assumptions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-kYiDbG39s

transformers made a billion because every kid on the planet had a transformers toy, we know what they are.

what the fuck IS pacific rim?

>>34313705
not exactly transformers but like the guy above me said about john carter which looked too much like avatar for everyone's tastes

We have had transformers and its done and people were over it by the last one. Most who saw it just wanted to see how they would wrap it up. Plus transformers is a much more recognizable brand than pacific rim

>>34313410 (OP)
>Every person I talk to about Pacific Rim says that it looks stupid, or looks too much like Transformers

yeah that sounds like an accurate sample size

>>34313812
John Carter was so much better than Mountain of Shit

So they're making a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion movie?

Why you guys didn't tell me about this?

>>34313735
How does that work? Surely if it cost $180m to make and $100m to market it needs $280m to turn a profit?

>>34313863

Not this shit again

Looks stupid as fuck. Who cares about the technical aspects when it's a Transformers movie?

>>34314022

nope, because all profits are taxed and the theaters get a cut of the profit too, a movie needs to make double what it spends to make a profit.

Who's going to play Asuka in this new Evangelion movie?

I hope it's Bella. She would be perfect.

>>34314089
Theatre profit is extremely minimal. For the first few weeks a movie is in theatres the venue only gets about 50 cents/ticket. The longer it remains in theatres the higher share they get. That's why soda and popcorn cost so much, it's the only thing they make money off of.

>>34313410 (OP)
>or looks too much like Transformers
This is the part that irks me most. There is no way that Guillermo is Bay-level shit-tier.

>>34313608
This is actually pretty accurate.

They don't give a shit about the American audience.

Have you seen the cast? Have you looked at the Jaegers and Kaiju? The effects?

This is an international movie. It will make at least $500mil from international sales alone.

What is this thread about then?

Looks like Evangelion to me.

I don't get this movie. It looks literally the same as transformers and people are hyping it. What the fuck? Yesterday we saw the trailer in the cinema and the whole cinema cringed.

>>34314359
it has no real competition Lone Ranger is a week before it in the coveted July 4th weekend slot. Wolverine is two weeks after it.

Lone Ranger is got a high chance of flopping. Only Depp and the July 4th slot are going to save it.

>>34314389
might as well say Warm Bodies looks just like 28 Days Later because they are both zombie genre films.

>>34314389
how do you know they all fucking cringed? did you talked to everyone there? could you see everyone's faces?

fuck, I remember early rimjob threads and everyone seem excited and now there are a lot of shit talkers

>>34314359

it won't tho

I hope it does well. I'm gonna take my dad to see this in cinema, we always watch Guillermo's films together.

Box office performance is going to be all word-of-mouth, and how well it connects with disparate niche audiences (mecha fans, tv actor fans, del toro fans, etc).

What happened in your life to make you so jaded?

Not every fucking film has to be some work of art.

The detail and animatronic work on Del Told's movies are amazing.

These are the same people who watch re-runs of TTGL and Evangelion and build Gundams in their mom's basement. It's not a film meant for well-adjusted members of society.

That's not the story, it's a plot device.

Why should we care about it? It's not like they're cancelling the movie if it doesn't do well in theaters. Isn't the most important fact if you like the movie or not yourself?

>>34313410 (OP)
when I first saw it I thought "how fucking stupid?" Then I spent my money on superman. That movie sucked so much dick. There have been films in the past that I thought just looked plain dumb but ended up liking. I'm hoping thats the case with pacific rim. Actually, i've even began to look forward to it.

>>34314899
Cause they can? Not everyone conforms to your opinions and ideas faggot

>implying this won't be a pop culture phenomenon that shifts mass audience tastes in blockbusters for generations to come

>>34314899

because del toro is doing the same thing, just that his gundams are really big, and he's paying a lot of money to have people act in them.

>>34314954
This. I didn't believe it would be actually successful but now that Superman is being (unjustly) panned for being 2grimdark it seems that people are now ready for an non-grimdark blockbuster

>>34314768
Yeah, it's amazing. There was also a video on youtube about the props and animatronics that they made for Hellboy movies.

>>34314793
idris elba is a good actor and I hope del torro is good at what he does. The monsters are really meh but the sci fi stuff is really exciting to me. The world seems complete and not just tacked on to make an action film.

>>34315042
what are some cool monsters according to you

I think that this one is more Shadow of Colossus than EVA or Transformers.

>>34315042
I would have preferred Tom Cruise over Idris Elba, mainly because Elba is in everything these days and Cruise would have been god tier in this.

>>34315008
superman is not being panned for being too "2grimdark (?)." Man of steel is a shit film with shit action.

The upside here is that those same complainers made all the Transformers movies and the new Star Treks and other retarded shit into financial successes. They can say what they want, they'll show up for this. They may not have any standards to keep them from feeding Michael Bay, but that means they also don't have any to keep them from feeding Guills.

Big scale "epic" CGI, an ad campaign with BRRRRM and "AT THE END OF OUR HOPE" in the trailer, that's all you need to pull them in.

>>34315083

Idris needs to become A-list. He's a much more talented actor and deserves it more than Cruise.

I dont care for monsters. I'm fine with them as the bad guys of the film but they're not something I get excited about.

At a push, a decent monster flick might be something akin to the thing. The monster in that film is intelligent and that inteligence is scary not just the monster itself.

Here;s some actual numbers on the topic: http://www.boxoffice.com/articles/2013-06-is-pacific-rim-2013s-biggest-box-office-wild-card

>>34315181

Evangelion had an amazing atmosphere and wasn't afraid to fuck with brilliantly written and relatable characters.
It had it's own unique voice and was subverting traditional tropes left and right.
Also, the visuals were stunning and monster and EVA design was original and disturbing.
It was uneven as fuck, but who cares.

>>34315325
Personally, I've seen it and hated it. I don't remember the donner movies and I distinctly remember not liking the film before superman killed zod.

but this is off topic and ill speak no more of it. I'm hoping this film delievers.

what if there's also an ocean on the other side?

>>34314713
It's going to impact what Del Toro does in the future. He's already struggled with securing projects for himself for several years now.

>>34315420
diff. anon but I can 100% tell you that the missing word here is "edited". Horribly edited and directed.......

fucking film jumped around like crazy. Makes batman suddenly reappearing in gotham seem mild by comparison.

>>34315422
I can't attest to Gundam, but I can say that as long as you sub the last two episodes of the evangelion series with the end of evangelion movie you get your time's worth with that ending. It's worth a watch.

>>34315425

So, basically, early word of mouth will decide it? Guess we'll won't really hear much of that for another week or two.

>>34314900
Because Del Toro is a great film makers, and if this fails, he probably won't be able to get some projects off the ground.

Holy shit, Charlie Day cut this movie's brakes!

>implying it isnt going to be the best summer blockbuster since all the others failed

>>34315452
i did not even consider this. however what sort of world do these things come from, gigantism and their amphibian nature imply a massive planet with oceans and continents as well. What do they eat? Other kaiju? is there a vast ecosystem supporting them? who opened the portal?

>>34314238
Good point. Can see this doing modestly domestic but then making a good 400mil over seas like

>>34315538
What if in the sequel humans will go to their world

>>34315538
yes!! Not its up to the film to deliver on those questions. Make a good goddamned film and not some action adventure.

>>34315538
it's implied in the movie that something sent the kaiju to earth for the purpose of wiping out humanity. the kaiju also have biological weapons like EMP, anti air darts, etc. The Kaiju are all probably creations of some intelligence.

>>34315538

They're not naturally occurring. The Kaiju in this movie are living bio-weapons of mass destruction, engineered by beings who live on the other side of the portal. They send the kaiju through to wipe Humanity off of Earth, so these beings can come through and colonize our universe, since theirs is in the finals stages of heat death.

What is a kaiju?

>>34314238

Also the 3d Rei is getting dubbed by the 2D Reis voice actor. Its practically guaranteed to be a huge hit in Japan.

>>34315538
The twist is that the Kaiju are jaegers from the future and we've been fighting ourselves without realizing it. The kaiju finally managed to push to our side and think they're winning the war against what they see as the kaiju.

>>34315586
Then at the very end King Ghidora is teased to go through the portal.

>>34315538
They're artificial. They're bioweapons created by an inscrutable agency that intends to exterminate humanity and colonize the Earth.

>>34315589

"Kaiju" is the term for a giant monster like Godzilla in Japan. It's also used to refer to the entire genre of giant monster movies.

I don't remember where I heard it, but apparently del toro gave James Cameron a cut of the film and Cameron gave like 9 pages of notes that del toro then used to further edit it, so since king Midas himself has touched I'll say it's going to b massive

>>34315538

Is it really that important? I mean, who needed Darth Vader's origin story? Wasn't alien from Alien much more interesting before we learned that it's basically a big bug?
Some things can be left to imagination, some should be.

>There is no room that is more fun to visit than the art department of a Guillermo Del Toro film in full swing. If there was a job that consisted of just drawing new crazy-ass monsters every day, I think Guillermo would have that job, and he would be the happiest man alive. He always puts together these great teams of artists, and then he encourages them to try anything and everything. [...] all dedicated to realizing the vision of the cackling Mexican madman at the middle of this hurricane, Guillermo.

And when you see him in his element, as he definitely was on "Pacific Rim," that's exactly what comes through. He's playing. He's free and he's playing the biggest game of monsters and robots ever.

Xenomorphs are a bio weapon of the space jockey/engineer race.

They are the end result of a deadly mutagen agent. That the engineers use to wipe out their own creations.

Yes, but nobody knew that when the first two movies came out, and those movies were big hits. Nobody NEEDED to know where the aliens came from. The mystery was more interesting than anything they cooked up in Prometheus.

This is why I'm excited for this move. Del Toro isn't just some hack working for a paycheck, he's a passionate filmmaker who hasn't been allowed to make films for several years. The guy's out to prove something to himself and to Hollywood.

>So far though, our social network tracking indicates that--at the very least--the genre fan crowd is pumped for del Toro's popcorn flick. Pacific Rim accounted for 4,818 tweets between June 14-18. That's 44 percent behind the comparable time frame performance of last year's Prometheus, though its nature as a "prequel" to the Alien franchise likely accounted for the higher activity. Another good sign for Pacific Rim is its 104 percent stronger performance than 2011's Cowboys & Aliens.

>Pacific Rim: 4,818 tweets
>Prometheus: 8,641 tweets
>Cowboys & Aliens: 2,360 tweets
>Super 8: 1,885 tweets

>Warner Bros.' July tentpole is performing even more strongly on Facebook. Its 253,783 fans 24 days out from release top all of our non-sequel comparison films. Pacific Rim has a healthy 24 percent lead over Prometheus' same-point count, and huge 122 percent and 517 percent advantages over Cowboys & Aliens and Super 8, respectively.

>Pacific Rim: 253,783 fans
>Prometheus: 204,711 fans

>Last but not least, the Flixster user score for Pacific Rim sits at a strong 98 percent "want to see" from roughly 32,000 voters. With over three weeks to build on that, it's on pace to easily surpass Prometheus' final count of 36,870 voters (which gave it a 97 percent score). Cowboys & Aliens had a strong vote total (also within reach for Pacific Rim), although its anticipation level sank as release approached and poor buzz spread. Super 8, meanwhile, was the modest pre-release performer before its word of mouth carried it to great success.

Remember when jocks and their skanky girlfriends said "pfft lame" during the Avatar trailer in cinemas?
Remember when no one seemed to be interested in it and some retards proclaimed it as dead on arrival?

Pacific Rim will be one of the highest grossing films this year.

Warner just went into radio silence with it because of Man Of Steel. In 2-3 weeks they will fire up that marketing machenery for Pacific Rim and soon you will be bombarded with 30 mini-spots of it on TV, radio, etc. This is their chance to start a new, hundreds of millions franchise. They will make sure this one won't bomb.

It will do more than fine, mark my words.

>>34316221
even the plebs will go see it after the first wave of us patricians go watch it and thoroughly enjoy the MOTY experience

I've seen people who think it looks like Real Steel or Battleship

I still can't believe they named it Pacific Rim. The movie looks like a promising action flick, something in the "what Transformers should have been" type, but what a stupid fucking name for a movie. They won't even need to change the name for the porn parody, it's all already there.

>Remember when jocks and their skanky girlfriends said "pfft lame" during the Avatar trailer in cinemas?

The majority of simpletons might dislike what they see the first time around and they want everyone else in the room to know how they feel about something. You must keep in mind though that simple minded people are almost always bored, because they are too fucking dumb to figure out how to spend their free time in life enriching ways.

This is how their conversations usually go (I overheard it several times myself. This is legit)

>Skanky girlfriend: Hey jock, what should we do tonight?
>Jock: Dunno, CSI is on tonight.
>Skanky girlfriend: Nah, let's watch Jersery Shore instead?
>Jock: It's always the same I don't like that show anymore, it's so I dunno.
>Skanky girlfriend: What should we do then, I'm bored Jock?!
>Jock: Let's go to the cinema
>Skanky girlfriend:What's on?
>Jock: Some drama about gay aids people lol and that one robot movie with monsters. It looks dumb but at least it has action in it. We can have some Coronas later.
>Skanky girlfriend: Ok, but I need at least an hour to get ready. I'm calling Kelly and Jayjay. Maybe they would like to go too?
>Jock: Yeah, do that.

You see, they might say one thing, but usually do the exact opposite. Let's call it my hobby to observe retards' behaviour. Stupid people fascinate me.

Charlie Day‘s character Dr. Newton Geiszler works for a Pan Pacific group studying the monsters’ organs. ...Newt goes on the streets to find Hannibal (played by Ron Perlman), to get his hands on a black-market Kaiju brain, and finds himself in the middle of the action. He is obsessed with trying to share a mind space with one of the Kaiju, much in the same way the pilots share a mind space to operate the Robots, to experience what they see.

Of all the sets, the most fine detail went into Hannibal Chau’s secret lab set. There are lots of animatronic monster pieces, custom constructed aquarium structures holding Kaiju pieces. Guillermo has described the set as “the jewelry box,” from the film’s inception. Ron notes that there is always a set on a Guillermo del Toro movie with dissected creatures created for science, collecting, or both.

Four-foot long alien insect creatures called Roleypolly are found on the dead Kaiju; they’re parasites that live off the monsters. The insects are created with a combination of computer effects and full-size puppets which are robotically controlled.
