Pacific Rim: Uprising - March 23, 2018

[RIDDICK]

I don't think this will make it to a third movie. Just a good feeling.

I cried when Socko’s robot friend blew up in space on his suicide mission to kill the baddie emperor Guillotine which actually rhymes with emperor palpatine lol.

Yeah me too...like 50 years ago in a Manhattan theater ...

‘Pacific Rim Uprising’ Director Says Crossover with ‘Godzilla’ and ‘King Kong’ Is Possible

We saw in the first trailer for Legendary and Universal Pictures’ Pacific Rim Uprising that the kaiju threat is far from extinct, but Legendary may have even bigger plans for the Pacific Rim franchise after a third movie in the series. Legendary is currently building out its Monster Universe with Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island in the can, Godzilla: King of the Monsters in post-production, and Godzilla vs. Kong in development. But might the jaegars and kaiju from Pacific Rim cross over into the Legendary Monster Universe and take on Kong and/or Godzilla?

This question was posed to DeKnight by Collider’s own Steven Weintraub during an interview at New York Comic-Con a few weeks ago, and the filmmaker revealed that this crossover notion has very much been discussed:

“I won’t say there’s an Easter Egg but there’s been a lot of discussion about that possibility [of crossing over]. Look I think it would be fantastic to have the Pacific Rim universe join Legendary’s Monster Universe, it seems like a natural step. And part of the big overall plan after the third movie we’ve talked about is that could happen, it’s always a possibility. It’s by far not a certainty; it’s merely theoretical at this point, but as a fan myself I would love to see that happen.”

Adam Wingard (Death Note) is currently set to direct Godzilla vs. Kong for release in 2020, but it definitely sounds like that team-up film won’t be the end of the Legendary Monster Universe. If Pacific Rim: Uprising is a hit when it’s released on March 23, 2018, it sounds like there are plans for Pacific Rim 3, which would then possibly lead into a proper crossover. And indeed, later on in our interview with DeKnight, he says the ending of Pacific Rim: Uprising plants the seeds for a third installment:

“Oh we definitely leave it open to another installment. The tricky thing with something like this is you want to not end on a cliffhanger. You don’t want an Empire Strikes Back cliffhanger unless you know you’re gonna do a third movie—you want to leave it open but also wrap it up. So that’s very much what we did on this movie. It has a definitive ending but very much open to the next chapter.”

King Kong? Lol he couldn’t even handle tiny airplanes. I don’t care how big they make him , kong will always be very weak. Godzilla is literally the the only monster that could work. It’d be hard to kill him unless they make mecha Godzilla

C’mon GTFO no way that’s real lol

C’mon GTFO no way that’s real lol

The video or the idea of a crossover actually happening?

 

[jye4ever]

They should edit that video and have the question to the cat be “You want more Pacific Rim movies?”

 

[Captain Clown]

“You want more Pacific Rim movies?”

 

[spindrift]

It all stops with this second one- huge bomb and why it was made(CHINA) in the first place is odd...

Ah who cares, a perfectly good rendition of Godzilla already went to **** when they decided to shove Kang in there, might as well shove PR in too.

A reimagining of Mecha Godzilla as a Jaeger would be neat. I wouldn't care to specifically see Gypsy Danger Vs. Godzilla or Kong.

It could be fun, but so far I'm not liking the way these franchises are heading.

 

[GasparZizou]

I'm not liking the way these franchises are heading.

I could say that about every single franchise lately

While watching the trailer again in front of JL it finally hit me what I don’t like about the direction they’re going.

The giant jaeger does a round house kick.

That would be bad enough in an open field but he does it amongst the skyscrapers.

That giant mech ceases to be a giant mech in my brain and it becomes just a martial arts character wearing armor like IM doing a kick.

All sense of scale and weight is lost as soon as it does a kick like that and with zero effort no less it just lifts its leg and does a round house kick like a martial artist would.

Very lame.

Yup, I noticed this film loses all sense of scale. The robots should be big and clunky, as something that size would be.

 

[Biojex]

Yeah the scale and weight is gone

Instead of Mech anime, it looks like they're using Ultraman battles as an inspiration for a lot of the action. The way it's shot...to the daylight and Jaeger movements... It's straight out of Ultraman. That's fine I guess, but it's a departure from the gritty, weighty and "lived in" ideals of the first film...which is a shame.

 

[jye4ever]

But was UM a mech or a just very tall human lol
