Why Pacific Rim Needs to be a Box Office Smash

Ok I normally don't do editorials on movies that haven't come out yet or any really at all based around this. So, I will say it straight up, Please, Please go and see Pacific Rim. I haven't seen it yet so I'm not sure if it will be as amazing as it looks. All I know is we need this movie to be a hit! For the sake of cinemas future.

Hollywood has a problem. They won't admit it but they do. It only sees the money in sequels, reboots, or adaptations of books or comics. So that leaves little room for the original movies to get made with proper budgets. Not many studios would take a risk of $100 million + on an original idea for a summer tent pole. Legendary Pictures did with the mega-movie Pacific Rim. Giant Robots and Monsters with Charlie Hunnam. High Concept right there.

The early tracking of Pacific Rim isn't looking too well. If everything goes how it's looking, then we could have this years version of Battleship (last years big budget film tanking). That isn't good for more than a studio losing money. Battleship and John Carter were different, they are adaptations of books and games. We the consumers are just as likely to blame for it as them. We go in groups to see this stuff usually.

As a fan of original material making it to big screen with a budget of $100 million +, I advise you to try and see this movie in theaters. We deserve other movies to get the chance to be big and bad and awesome. Lets try and turn this film tracking around and save cinema. I know its a big task, but I believe we can do it together.

Now, back to your regular scheduled programing.

P.S. I will be taking a slight vacation for the week so likely won't do any post. Just remember Comic-Con is just around the corner!

Full Trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' is Here and it's Epic!

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures debuted the last and fullest trailer for Guillermo del Toro's baby Pacific Rim. This thing looks epic, like really epic epicness. It has amazing people behind the scenes and a fantastic cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, and Ron Perlman.

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 (Hunnam) and an untested trainee —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.

This will be Epic!

Full Cast of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox Announced + New Image!

DC Animated Films have always been very fan orientated when it comes to getting the best animation style closets to the source material. Also, they have been stellar with voice acting with bringing back fan favorites and great new talent. Check out this full cast and you will see some perfect casting with some new people showing up in roles.

TV Guide announced the full cast of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox earlier. The full cast includes fan favorites Kevin Conroy as Batman, Dana Delany as Lois Lane, and Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Ron Perlman as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke. That gave me a nerdgasm. Also, joining the cast are Justin Chambers and Kevin McKidd as The Flash and Batman (Thomas Wayne version). Cyborg will be voiced by Michael B. Jordan (not the b-ball player mind you that) than the cool Cary Elwes as Aquaman, Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman, and Sam Daly as Superman. Wow thats a huge all-star cast! I can't wait for his!

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox hits video on July 30th

Conan The Barbarian Poster

Lionsgate released a pretty cool motion poster for Conan The Barbarian. IGN said that the poster is “a nod to the classic Conan imagery of the late artist Frank Frazetta. Indeed, the poster is an intentional effort to bring Frazetta’s vision of the character to life, just as the new film is a reincarnation and reinvention of the world’s most famous barbarian for modern audiences.”

Conan is played by Jason Momoa and also stars Stephen Lang, Ron Perlman, Rose McGowan and young actor Leo Howard as young Conan. I met Leo and he is a pretty cool little dude.

Conan The Barbarian will be released in 3D on August 19.

The still version of poster

The awesome motion poster is after the jump because it takes up a lot of memory.

Trailer of the Week- Season of the Witch

This is the the first full trailer for the supernatural-thriller film Season of the Witch. Directed by Dominic Sena (Gone In Sixty Seconds) and starring Nicholas Cage (National Treasure), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Claire Foy (Little Dorrit). Also starring Stephen Campbell Moore, Robert Sheehan, Ulrich Thomsen, Stephen Graham and the legendary Christopher Lee.

Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.


A priest (Moore), a grieving knight (Thomsen), an itinerant swindler (Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl.
