This is quick. Pacific Rim isn’t even out yet (at least, not in the UK) and we don’t know how successful the movie will be. Wizkids have announced PACIFIC RIM: HEROCLIX in association with Legendary Pictures and NECA. There are five Jaegers in the line. They are; Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon […]
Over two minutes of Pacific Rim greatness
My expectations are getting dangerously high for Pacific Rim. This is never a good thing. Check out this trailer and tell me if I’m wrong. Add in Guillermo de Toro, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and even Ellen (Glados) McLain – then tell me I’m wrong? I know! I might be wrong. It could all come […]
DC’s Dark Universe might be their best chance against Marvel’s Avengers
Guillermo del Toro was at WonderCon to help promote Pacific Rim, the mecha versus Kaiju film, and it certainly feels like that’s going to be a great movie. While he was at the convention he also talked about Dark Universe – that’s the working name, perhaps the final name – for the “Justice League Dark” […]
The Pacific Rim battle mechs: Jaegers

Pacific Rim teases with Kaiju footprint
The marketing campaign for Pacific Rim has thrown us another treat. This time we get a look at the aftermath of a Kaiju attack. It rather looks like a giant footprint. Photos like this make for good teasers in the phase before we’ve trailers. It seems a little late for Pacific Rim to be doing […]

Pacific Rim: Who gave GLaDOS those toys?
This blogger is about a day late and a million and a half plays late for posting Del Toro’s latest trailer for his upcoming mecha versus monster movie: Pacific Rim. There was a chance that this post could gain some cred by saying; “Yup! That really is GLAdOS, the AI from Portal”… but everyone knows […]
Kaiju Attack: Pacific Rim teaser
I’ve seen debate around this clip. Is it Cloverfield 2? Is it the new Godzilla movie? I don’t think so. Given the terminology (and what plenty of others are saying) I’m sure this is Guillermo del Toro’s giant mecha versus monsters Pacific Rim movie. That’s right; the man who did Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth and who […]
Pacific Rim poster
Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro is doing another monster movie. Pacific Rim is a battle of robots versus a legion of monsters known as Kaiju. The Kaiju rise up from the sea in hordes and mankind, despite Jaegers, are loosing the battle. Jaegers are giant robots that are controlled by two pilots linked together by […]
Del Toro’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark gets a Comic-Con trailer
Del Toro makes superb movies and he’s been known to announce his projects at Comic-Con. Clearly a man with fine taste. He’s been working on Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark – frankly, the idea of not being afraid of a spooky movie with Del Toro at the helm is a silly idea – and […]
