Universal Pictures Canada x Mr. Will want to give Readers a chance to attend an Advance Screening of PACIFIC RIM UPRISING in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton + Calgary on Wednesday, March 21, 2018.
Synopsis:
The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.
Rebellious Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) is a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.
Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.

Back in January 2012, I had the opportunity to do a bit of work on $180-million mega-opus from Director Guillermo del Toro, Pacific Rim. I was incredibly honoured to do work days on the Production as a Background Performer. I was unemployed at the time, having lost a job I had for many years and always dreamed of being in a Movie, so, why not? Because we had signed Confidentiality Agreements, details we weren’t permitted to be disclose any details until filming had completely fully. After holding on this post for over 22 months, finally I can talk about my experience!
Cast in the role of an Engineer, I learned first-hand how much work can go into filming just one scene, let alone an entire Film. Some days began as early as 5:30 AM, while ending as late as 10:30 PM. Now if you think that’s a long day, know that some of the Crew are required to arrive even earlier and to stay later to set-up and pack-up. Having worked a 9 to 5 job with a cushy seat, I appreciate just how spoiled I was. A non-unionized Background Performer makes a v. minimal amount of money and endures gruelingly long days.
The futuristic Sci-Fi/Action Flick, taking-up a majority of the eight stages at Toronto’s Pinewood Studios, pits Humans and Robots up against Apocalyptic Monsters, rising from beneath the Pacific Ocean. A majority of the Film appears is shot against a Green Screen and is F/X-heavy. Set Design is fascinating and intricate – “mechanical” and “martial” are words I would choose to describe it all. Much of the Film is set on a Compound off the Pacific Ocean shores, with hoards of Labourers working at a feverish pace to build Robots, which ultimately will be piloted by Soldiers to fight-off the destructive Enemies. Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) leads the Charge, declaring a War to cancel the Apocalypse. Working under him in the fight are Right-hand Man Herc Hansen (Max Martini), Australians Raleigh Antrobus (Charlie Hunnam), Yancy Antrobus (Robert Kazinsky) and Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). There even is an adorable and talented English Bulldog named Max joining the fight too!
Go big or go extinct.
Could we ask for anything more? Careful not to give too much away still, this brand new Trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim has just been released, focussing almost exclusively on the War between Monsters and Robots. In a scintillating display of Action, Destruction and neon-lit Chaos, this Toronto-filmed Action-Adventure looks to deliver on every scale in a big way.
Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, Clifton Collins Jr. and Idris Elba star.
Watch the Trailer below:
And while we’re on it, news has just surfaced that del Toro‘s next Feature Crimson Peak will begin production in Toronto July 2014. Let’s roll-out the Welcome Mat for Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch and once again Hunnam!

“To fight Monsters we created Monsters”.
The endless tease continues. A brand new Poster for what is this Summer’s Must-See Event, Pacific Rim, has just surfaced. Here we see a giant Robot crushing the City and although it might appear to be doing bad, it is actually being employed to save the World from the attack of Monsters.
See the official Poster below:

“In order to fight Monsters, we had to create Monsters of our own.”.
The Countdown is on to the release of Pacific Rim and Warner Bros. India was first to reveal this brand new TV Spot for one of this Summer’s most eagerly-awaited Blockbusters, from Director Guillermo del Toro! Although brief, there’s tons of destruction and guaranteed Idris Elba‘s line “Today we are cancelling the Apocalypse!” will become so iconic it shall be repeated ad nauseum and (hopefully!) parodied.

I’m so winning an Oscar for Best Background Performer Ever (!!) for my most powerful work on Guillermo del Toro‘s Blockbuster Pacific Rim. Can you find me? Thanks to Sin Dai for sending this over!
This Scene will be one of the more memorable moments of the Film with Idris Elba delivering a powerful Speech rallying the Troops to fight an invasion of Earth-shattering Aliens.
Just six more months. Warner Bros. releases Pacific Rim on July 13, 2013.

This needs to be released like right NOW. Guillermo del Toro has a busy slate in 2013 and in addition to releasing Toronto-filmed Horror Mama, on which he serves as Executive Producer later this month, this July his $300-million Sci-Fi Epic Pacific Rim is set to cause a tidal wave at the Box Office. As you are aware, I filmed a week’s worth of scenes on the Film last year – even if just in the background – and I’m so super-stoked.
Pacific Rim centers around an impending Alien Attack where Robots are deployed to fight for our lives. Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Robert Kazinsky, Ron Perlman and Clifton Collins Jr. all star.
