[Exclusive] ‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’ Will Feature New Jaeger Gipsy Avenger
Gipsy Danger may be dead, but an upgraded successor is ready for battle.
If you’re tuned into the Pacific Rim community, you may have seen the above (and below) images floating around the web this week. They’re from the latest issue of License! Global, providing us with our first look at three Jaegers that will appear in next year’s Pacific Rim: Uprising. As many fans have noted, the blue Jaeger in the center looks to be very similar to the beloved Gipsy Danger, which was lost in battle in the first Pacific Rim, and we can exclusively reveal today that yes, there will be a brand spankin’ new version of Gipsy Danger in the upcoming sequel.
An anonymous source has indicated to us that the blue Jaeger seen in the licensing art, in tribute to his fallen predecessor, is named Gipsy Avenger. A fitting moniker, to say the least.
John Boyega stars in the Steven S. DeKnight-directed follow-up as Jake Pentecost, the son of Idris Elba’s character from the first film, Stacker Pentecost. Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman, Scott Eastwood, Cailee Spaeny, Jing Tian, Levi Meaden, and Adria Arjona also star.
Look for Pacific Rim: Uprising on February 23rd, 2018.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
Terrifier 3 comes courtesy of Dark Age Cinema Productions. Phil Falcone Produces with Lisa Falcone acting as Executive Producer. Co-producers include Mike Leavy, Jason Leavy, George Steuber, and Steve Della Salla. Brad Miska, Brandon Hill, and Erick Opeka Executive Produce for Cineverse.
