Pacific Rim 2

For what it is they might as well play it up to the fans and go all out, or really play heavily into the Chinese market as I'd expect the sequel to do much worse in most countries given the limited appeal of the first and its generally weak reception

[Dogg Thang]

Yep, that's very true. They'll have lost a bunch of us first time around so they may as well play entirely to those who enjoyed it. Expect full-on pantomime.

I'm sure there must be fan edits somewhen with just the cool robot stuff.

Could they just shove godzilla in at the end and have some scientists who - as luck would have it - has foreseen this and built a godzilla sized mecha that needs more that 2 people to pilot it, 11 people in fact, so they have to find the world's best football team as they are the only people who can work well enough together to operate it.

[Dogg Thang]

I like it. If you can get the Fast and Furious crew in, I'm in.

Brace yourselves Rim-fans Speculation is mounting that the expected transition of Skull Island to Warners is indeed a plan to expand a Godzilla/Kong cinema universe and as a result Pacific Rim 2 has been placed on indefinite hold, possibly even looking at being scrapped entirely as the Godzilla/Kong plan wouldn't leave much money or need to chance another Pacific Rim.

And this is all sorts of wrong.

Quoted for sad truth. Dredd....why did everyone ignore you. Just what the hell.

It was so terrible, it went right through the other side to awesome.

Hitting the one kaijuu with a tanker? CLASSIC!!

I watch it in 3D every few weeks or so.

I also like the Aussie kid being more of an arsehole than any American in the movie. Makes a change.

This is pretty spot-on and why I like the film too and don't care about its flaws. One of the only 4 BDs I ever bothered buying.

APOCALYPSE CANCELED HAHAHA

Del Toro says this is still coming but no timescale exists. Legendary have been bought out by a Chinese business so given the films success in that market the odds have risen again. However, with each passing year I'd expect it to go the way of Hellboy 3 and fade into having no chance. It's been 3 years and its shelf life is disappearing.

Probably not happening but would welcome it. The first movie is awesome while the main character is, well, lacking.

Official Trailer #2 time!

[teddymeow]

This looks bloody amazing!!

Boyega not speaking with a US accent is welcomed too.

Opposite reaction for me, looks totally naff.

However John Boyega using his normal voice does make some of his lines sound amusingly mundane

It's probably the closest I'll ever get to a live action Evangelion movie.

[Cassius_Smoke]

I think it look awesome!

[Neon Ignition]

It looks like the first film but with some of Del Toro's influences removed in favour of some Power Rangers, Transformers, GI Joe vibes. Hope that's what China wanted from a sequel...

I expected more noise from fans of the first given this is out now:
