Abbie Cornish (Limitless, Sucker Punch) plays a photographer struggling with severe memory loss. Strange clues among her photos begin to suggest that she may be responsible for the deaths of family members she never knew she had.

Dermot Mulroney (The Grey, Insidious: Chapter 3 ) also stars with Diego Klattenhoff (“The Blacklist,” “Homeland”) in the film co-written by Gass-Donnelly and Colin Frizzell.

Abbie Cornish stars in this thriller as Jane, a photographer who is forced to come to terms with her mysterious and tragic past after a horrendous car accident robs her of her memory. Along with her husband (Diego Klattenhoff, ‘Blacklist’) and daughter, Jane returns to her childhood home and reconnects with her estranged uncle (Dermot Mulroney). To take control of her life, Jane must confront a mysterious lurking force and grapple with a past that continues to haunt her.

Director/co-writer Ed-Donnelly crafts a riveting hallucinatory tale about a woman who must relive horrors to save the ones she holds the most dear. With a strong supporting turn from Justin Long, ‘Lavender’ is full of twists and turns that will keep audiences engaged until the very end.

Director Guillermo del Toro is partying like a rock star tonight as Deadline is reporting that the 3D sci-fi actioner’s Wednesday opening in China to a record-breaking $9M. That’s a new high for any Warner Bros release and 23% bigger than for any Harry Potter film. Pacific Rim grossed a huge 70% of market share there. This is after the pic broke through to become the #1 film internationally on July 19-21 as it rolled out into less than half the global territories.

Besides China, Pacific Rim today released in Spain and Japan, and August 9th in Brazil.

The result is that screenwriter Travis Beacham (who had the idea for the film) and co-scribe/director Guillermo del Toro’s film based on Legendary’s homegrown comic book will likely have a sequel.

No one is yet saying this movie is going to turn a profit due to the high cost of its Industrial Light & Magic CGI which sent the budget to $180M-$220M. Unfortunately, U.S. theatrical sales are not expected to exceed $100M all in so overseas coin was crucial. But international was always a big part of Pacific Rim‘s strategy in a crowded summer marketplace. After Sunday the pic’s foreign cume is $140M from 52 territories and its worldwide total is $224M.

The post [Random Cool] ‘Pacific Rim’ Gets Japanese ‘Godzilla’-Style Trailer! appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Pacific Rim takes place on the brink of the apocalypse as giant monsters, known as Kaiju, are randomly appearing through an underwater portal to Earth. The humans’ attempts to destroy said portal are futile, and thus the Jaeger program is initiated. Jaegers are giant man-made robots that are operated by two human pilots. The mental link (known as a neural handshake) to the robot is so overwhelming that it takes two minds (half a brain from each pilot) to operate. In an early moment, Becket loses his brother in battle and retires to build city walls to stop Kaiju penetration. Flash forward a few years; in a bleak last-ditch effort to save mankind, Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) recruits Becket to help aid a team to close the portal forever.

In terms of the screenplay, the neural handshake is underused as a way of the characters battling their personal demons, but also utilized as a serviceable device to let Dr. Newton Geiszler (played by the tremendous Charlie Day, who delivers a hilarious performance in the vein of Bobcat Goldthwait and Rick Moranis) learn what the Kaiju’s master plan is. It’s also worth noting that, no matter what anyone else says, I think the majority of the characters are bland and underdeveloped; the Russian team is straight-faced and angry, the Asian triplets play basketball (seriously), and the American is noble, ethical, strong-willed, and unpredictable. I dare you to compare the foreign Jaeger pilots in Pacific Rim to the fighters in the 1988 character classic Bloodsport. The problem for me is that, when one of their family or team members perishes in battle, I don’t really care… at all.

With that said, huge props (no pun intended) to del Toro for the death toll. One of the biggest problems with summer blockbusters is that the films never feel like there’s anything at stake, and that there’s any real danger. In Pac Rim, people are being crushed by buildings, eaten by monsters and torn apart in battle. It delivers quite a punch of much-needed realism. It’s also important to note that this summer blockbuster doesn’t feel “empty” – part of creating realism is filling rooms and streets with extras so it looks like the real world. The movie (and the earth it depicts) feels refreshingly “lived in,” suggesting a planet whose environment is the ultimate result of our ongoing disregard.

It’s just too bad that the world created here occasionally clashes with del Toro’s overuse of CGI, which makes much of the film (especially the comparatively anticlimactic final battle) feel like a video game. While the CG work has an undeniable weight to it, it would have been nice to see del Toro hark back to movies like Godzilla and Robot Jox with the use of miniatures and physical props – even Steven Spielberg mixed physical dinosaur pieces with his CGI creations in Jurassic Park. By cutting between something real and something digitally created, the brain will assemble the two into one coherent, believable object (this is also a fairly typical trick for horror gags).

I keep thinking about the early 00’s when movies like Hostel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw littered theaters – at some point we became desensitized to the violence. I feel the same way with the bloated overuse of CGI in recent years – films like The Avengers, Man of Steel, Transformers and various others end with entire cities being destroyed. It’s slightly unfortunate that Pacific Rim comes after these, as it’s a movie where the destruction makes sense. It’s built on the conceit that these giant robots and monsters would destroy entire cities. The organic way in which this stuff is implemented helps me shake the negative feelings surrounding the dense fight scenes that litter the movie.

Perhaps I’m being hard on the film’s shortcomings because everything else on deck works so well. It’s frustrating to watch a movie that’s so close to being great, so I should really clarify how much I loved most of it. Pacific Rim, beyond its flaws, is truly a gorgeous, stunning and magnificent summer spectacle. It’s balls-to-the-wall batshit crazy – a must-see summer extravaganza that delivers more than what’s promised in the trailers, and will also tickle that childhood nerve that begs to be nurtured.** And while Pacific Rim may get lost in this summer’s sea of overindulgent superhero movies jam-packed with boring-as-shit fight scenes, it’s the one film this season that will become an instant cult classic among cinephiles everywhere.

*One final note that didn’t quite fit in my review, but felt it was pretty important: I really recommend paying for the 3-D experience. While there’s quite a bit of post-conversion, the layers help drive the realism of the giant robots in an all CGI world.

**The Jaeger and Kaiju designs are so unique and cool that I promise some of you are going to buy all of the toys.

Engage in a neural handshake and then prepare for the drop in the third and final trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s epic, which hopes to leave you breathless. It’s kind of all over the place, which makes me think they’re hoping to appeal to anyone that will listen. I can only hope the reports of poor tracking are off, because I want nothing more than to see this movie kick some ass when it busts into theaters July 12.

Featuring giant man-made robotos, mankind will battle against monsters from another dimension. If that’s not a cool premise, I don’t know what is. I can only hope it’s like Robot Jox, only a billion times better.

Total Film got their hands on this super artist special edition IMAX poster, which will be handed out to everyone who attends an IMSX showing on opening weekend.

In addition, Collider has a series commissioned by Odd City designed by artist Gabz, who also created the incredible Bloody Disgusting logo, as well as Todd Slater, NE, Gordon Jones and Graham Erwin. The one-sheets keep with the Japanese angle in giving homage to giant monster movies spawned by Godzilla.

In a press release: “Odd City Entertainment is excited to announce, in partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, a series of limited edition screen prints from varying talented artists (Gabz, Todd Slater, NE, Gordon Jones and Graham Erwin) all inspired by Oscar nominated director Guillermo del Toro’s EPIC new movie, Pacific Rim. When looking for artists to approach this soon to be classic sci-fi flick, Odd City Founder, Roman Morales, quickly zeroed in on the perfect lot that could bring the director’s vision to screen printed glory. Gabz, a world-renowned Polish artist, will be the first in this series to release his print upon unsuspecting Fanboys and Fangirls across the globe. Gabz expressed his enthusiasm about working on this project, ‘This is actually the first time I had an opportunity to work on something this big, so I was both excited and slightly overwhelmed at the beginning. Until now, I had worked on movies with plenty of references to be found on the Internet. In this case, I was mainly limited to the first teaser trailer that came out (pretty mind blowing by the way). I focused on Gipsy Danger, but instead of putting him in some type of massive sea battle, which was quite tempting, I proposed something inspired by World War 2 propaganda posters; something where the giant robot symbolizes the last stand of humanity. To better show the scale of the threat, I added a glimpse of the giant Kaiju hidden in the skyline. I’m pleased with the outcome and particularly with my version of the poster title, clearly inspired by Japanese apocalyptic cinema posters.‘ Roman, who worked closely with Gabz and the studios in this creative process, also commented on his beautiful work of art, ‘From the moment we discussed this project, Gabz was a part of it. He had already done a piece for us that we had yet to release and working with him was so easy. He had the ability to see the big picture, no pun intended. From just a single teaser, he was able to capture the spirit of a film that was already stirring all of our film geek sensibilities. I couldn’t see this series without him.‘”

In theaters July 12 from director Guillermo del Toro, “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 (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-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.“

After blowing our minds with the Con trailer premiere, we now have a tremendous banner that sizes up the enormity of the battle ensuing on July 12. I’m a huge fan of Robot Jox and think this looks like the next best thing since 1987!

Here’s 5 things we learned from the trailer.

The post Epic ‘Pacific Rim’ Banner Teases Monster Battle! appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

This morning Warners released the Con footage, which is basically an elongated trailer bursting with awesome. It’s like the 1989 Robot Jox mixed with Cloverfield, Godzilla and Jurassic Park, only injected with steroids. What you’ll see doesn’t have that “generic” Transformers look, where robots get hit and fall all over a city. Instead, Pacific Rim flexes its muscles with unique set pieces, stunning settings, and even a shockingly smart premise: the humans are getting their asses kicked Die Hard style!

Pacific Rim, in theaters July 12, is clearly going to be del Toro’s coup de grâce.

The post ‘Pacific Rim’ Con Trailer Better Than Everything…Bursts With Awesome! appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Erin Maxwell ‏of Variety writes, “Pacific Rim is everything I ever wanted from every movie ever made. Thank you. #wondercon2013”

Melissa Molina stated: “#PacificRim footage was f–king amaaaazing. I need to see this movie NOW #wondercon”

Devin Faraci of Bassass Digest uses all caps to express his excitement: “A JAEGER HITS A KAIJU IN THE FACE WITH A CARGO SHIP IN THE PACIFIC RIM WONDERCON TRAILER.”

Chris Eaton adds: “#pacificrim is no Cloverfield the 2 minutes shown @WonderCon blew that film out the water”

Warner Bros Pictures added a little bit of juice, “Guillermo del Toro says each time he sees #PacificRim, he still has a “sh*t-eating grin” on his face, and it’s “absolute heaven.” #WonderCon”

Hopefully the new footage hits the Web tomorrow. Until then, we’ll wait patiently for July 12 when the world wages war against giant monsters!

Is it me or are we entering Transformers-land here? There’s a series of giant robot posters, which doesn’t get me excited. I want to know more about the monsters…I hope they deliver in spades!

All this stuff looks pretty cool but for some reason I’m beginning to get an “arm’s length” feeling from Pacific Rim. I was definitely into the first trailer, but I can’t say that I’m looking forward to this that eagerly for some reason. I’d like to know more about the human characters.

The post Concept Art Sneaks Peaks Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’ appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Del Toro is halfway through finishing the special effects but Pacific Rim is already “the only movie I’ve done where I don’t want it to end, frankly,” says the filmmaker (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth), who co-wrote the screenplay with Travis Beacham. And it won’t have to end for now: They’re already working on a sequel, as previously reported. The film is set in a future in which malevolent creatures threaten the earth, the planet must band together and use highly advanced technology to eradicate the growing menace.

There’s more than just that anomaly in the future world of Pacific Rim, del Toro says. “It’s really creating a world that’s been shaped by two anomalies: the giant monsters and the giant robots we create to fight them.”

Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Robert Kazinsky, Ron Perlman, Max Martini, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff and Brad William Henke all star.

Does that mean they’re done for the day? NOPE! They’ve just released a viral video of a news broadcast detailing a monstrous Kaiju attack on San Francisco. This isn’t footage from the film or anything, but it’s cool as hell and you can get a glimpse of the Kaiju monster about 47 seconds in! The broadcaster describes the creature as being over 300 feet tall. And, courtesy of Wired, we also have a blueprint of one of the human-piloted Jaeger robots (this particular design is for the Gipsy Danger mecha).
