Pacific Rim was such an insanely cool movie, and I couldn’t be happier that Legendary Pictures and Guillermo del Toro are moving forward with a sequel. During an interview with Collider, the director talked a little bit about the sequel saying that it takes place a couple of years after where the first movie left off, and says that Charlie Day and Burn Gorman will return to reprise their roles. Here’s what he had to say about the timeframe:

“It’s a few years after the first one. It’s not an immediate follow-up. It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after – what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat. It’s quite a jump.”

He went on to reveal who he thinks the two main characters will be saying,

“It’s quite a different movie from the first one in that, but I think that two of our main characters like in the first one are Burn and Charlie. They are really, really – I mean, honestly, they are probably the guys I have the most fun writing along with Hannibal Chau so just from a purely selfish drive, I like writing them. I love writing for Charlie and Burn. I mean, [Burn’s] in Crimson Peak for that reason, because I love working with him. You’re gonna get a lot of that, but the Kaijus are very different and you’re gonna see a very different type of the robots [sic] I think. It’s gonna be quite a different adventure.”

Day previously talked about the character saying that he was originally supposed to be a villain in the sequel, but I doubt that will happen, and so does Day, who said,

“I remember when I first met with him [Del Toro] that he liked the idea of Newt becoming a bit of a villain in the second film…But, I think over the course of making the film, and the way the character resonated with the audience, I don’t think he would want to turn him into a villain now, but I really have no idea.”

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHERE THEY TAKE THE NEXT FILM  WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A few months ago, Terminator creator and mastermind James Cameron revealed that he was loosely attached to the upcoming Terminator Genisys film. It was just an advisory role for him, but it seems like he played a decent sized role in developing the story that we are going to see unfold. In a recent interview with Deadline he reveals what what his big and awesome contribution was.

“I wasn’t interested in producing it or working on it actively, but I did want to put in a good word for Arnold. I pointed out that the outer covering (of the Terminator) was actually not synthetic, that it was organic and therefore could age. You could theoretically have a Terminator that was sent back in time, missed his target, and ended up just kind of living on in society. Because he is a learning computer and has a brain as a central processor he could actually become more human as he went along without getting discovered.”

That’s such a damn cool concept, and it explains how Schwarzenegger comes back as an older cyborg. In a separate interview with Empire, the director talks about why he’s not worried about this new Terminator movie.

“It’s not my problem! It’s like being a grandparent, the kids come over and you can send them back! When I walked away from the franchise, I had to do it with the sense that I can invest in emotion. To me, it’s all upside, because if it’s good, it’s good for Arnold [Schwarzenegger], my friend Laeta [Kalogridis] and if it’s not good? It doesn’t bother me personally.”

He does say that he hopes it will turn out to be a great film, though.

“I’m hoping it’s great. I’d like them to get it right, and based on the script that I read there’s a pretty good chance that it could. It looks like it could be fun.”

As a fan of this franchise, that’s encouraging to hear. That statement actually boosts my excitement for the movie a little bit. On another note, there’s a chance that one day the rights to the Terminator franchise will revert back to Cameron, and if that happens, the director isn’t counting out the opportunity to come back and reinvent the franchise. Here’s what he had to says:

“I haven’t really thought that far ahead yet. I’ve got plenty of time to think about it. It might be fun to completely re-invent the franchise. A lot has to do with what happens with it in the meantime, people may have Terminator fatigue.”

As long as Cameron is the one making the Terminator films I won’t have “Terminator fatigue.” Terminator: Genisys stars Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, Jason Clarke as John Connor, Dayo Okeniyi as Danny Dyson, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who returns as T-800. The movie also includes Doctor Who’s Matt Smith and G.I. Joe: Retaliation’s Byung-hun Lee. The film will be released in theaters on July 1st, 2015.

Hollywood sure does love their PG-13 movies, and it looks like the latest addition to the Terminator franchise is going that route as well. McG‘s Terminator: Salvation was PG-13, but that sure didn’t help make it a better movie. Terminator: Genisys is the start of a whole new trilogy for Paramount Pictures, and I was really hoping they would capture the spirit of the original film and take the R-rated road.

The actor who plays Kyle Reese in the film, Jai Courtney, recently talked about the movie in an interview with The Huffington Post.

“What I can say is that we start in a place we’re familiar with from the early films and then, you know, circumstances change. It somewhat shifts the course of events from that point. It’s not necessarily a sequel or a reboot. I don’t even know how you brand it correctly. We’re not remaking one of the early ‘Terminator’ movies. And it doesn’t necessarily carry on from the point where we left off.”

The in separate interview with The Arnold Fans, Courtney was asked about the rating of the movie, and if he thought it would be rated R. This was his reply,

“I would love to see it be rated R, but I don’t think it will. I think in this day & age, it’s much more likely to be PG-13. There were no f-bombs. But there’ll be a healthy amount of movie violence.”

It’s kind of sad to think that we live in a world where studios are scared to make an R-rated Terminator movie. The actor was also asked about shooting the sequels that will follow Terminator: Genisys, and whether Arnold Schwarzenegger would return to those as well. To that he said,

“Hard to imagine a Terminator film without Arnold. I guess we start filming – I think the plan is do the next 2 back to back in 2016.”

Courtney is also joined by Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi, Byung Hun Lee, and Matt Smith in the film. It was directed by Thor: The Dark World‘s Alan Taylor from a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 1st, 2015.

Director Ridley Scott is currently preparing to direct his two big sci-fi fi sequels, Blade Runner 2 and Prometheus 2. While speaking to Yahoo about his upcoming movie, Exodus: Gods and Kings, he also offered an update on the other two projects.

The last we heard on Blade Runner 2 was that the director said the script was “damn good,” and that he would shoot the film when he’s done with The Martian. Here’s what he had to say in his most recent interview:

“It’s on the charts, can’t say when that would be yet, because of [Ford’s] thing with ‘Star Wars’. It’s a sequel – it’s what happens next. It’s quite surprisingly clever.”

I  would like to see another film,  lets see what happens. He went on to give a more detailed update on Prometheus 2 saying:

“Right now, as we speak, it’s being written. I’ve had 15 drafts evolving. I definitely want to do that again because I really enjoyed doing Prometheus.”

Well, that’s interesting. He’s had 15 drafts of the scripts so far… I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. He went on to address the mixed reviews of Prometheus and the lack of recognizable monsters, saying:

“The beast is done. Cooked. I got lucky meeting Giger all those years ago. It’s very hard to repeat that. I just happen to be the one who forced it through because they said it’s obscene. They didn’t want to do it and I said, ‘I want to do it, it’s fantastic’. But after four (he has conveniently forgotten the ‘AvP’ movies), I think it wears out a little bit. There’s only so much snarling you can do. I think you’ve got to come back with something more interesting. And I think we’ve found the next step. I thought the Engineers were quite a good start.”

As for what audiences can expect to see in the sequel, he said:

“You’ll probably have to go with [Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw] and [Michael Fassbender’s android David] without his head. Find out how he gets his head back on!”

I disliked prometheus.  Was not happy with the storyline  or the  plot or the ending!  I expected more  I know many were disappointed with it as well!  I hope they can fix alot of this in the new movie!

The Wolf Of Wall Street‘s female lead, Margot Robbie, is in talks to star in in the live-action big screen adaptation of the Japanese anime Ghost In The Shell. Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) is currently attached to direct the film for DreamWorks from a script written by Bill Wheeler. Snow White and the Huntsman looked great visually, and I’m sure he’ll bring some visual awesomeness to Ghost in the Shell. But let’s wait and see how he tells the story, because he failed in that aspect with Snow White.

The story follows the exploits of a member of a covert ops unit of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission that specializes in fighting technology-related crime. If you haven’t seen the anime yet, you really need to watch it to really appreciate the greatness of the story.

Robbie was great in The Wolf of Wall Street, and on top of her acting talent she is absolutely beautiful. Throw some dark hair on her, and I could totally see her doing in the role of Motoko. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if they change that name for American audiences. Robbie would be an awesome choice though, and I hope things work out with her.

This is going to be an American made film. I understand that there are a ton of very talented Japanese actresses out there that could take on this role, but the studio is already looking to cast a white woman in the part. This is just how Hollywood works, and I think Robbie is a solid choice under the circumstances.
