Since I’m on a Pacific Rim roll this morning, I thought I would also post a trailer featuring one of the primary actors from Pacific Rim, Idris Elba. The film also stars Naomie Harris of Pirates of the Carribean, and Skyfall fame.

The film is slated for release in the U.K., I have no information on when/if it might be releasing in the U.S. but I would definitely be interested in watching it. It looks like it could be very good.

A chronicle of Nelson Mandela’s life journey from his childhood in a rural village through to his inauguration as the first democratically elected president of…

Wondering whether Guillermo del Toro’s robots are a possiblity? Fact or just fictional as it were? Well wonder no more because Veronica Belmont is here to answer the question for you. She’ll let us know if we’ll be able to pull something like this off in case of alien invasion or whether we’ll be completely left hung out to dry… grim prospects indeed.

It’s kind of looking like we may never see a second Pacific Rim since it’s doing far worse what what was expected, at least domestically. It’s doing a little better internationally. But I still say that profits so far are definitely a bit disappointing.

But if there is a second Pacific Rim film, a sequel, we might get to see some interesting things:

I’ll tell you a couple of things. We will have Gipsy 2.0 for sure. We will have Gipsy 2.0 for sure. Second thing is you’re gonna see a merging of Kaiju and Jaeger. And that is quite special.

Just think about it for a second. We sent Gipsy to…

According the Podcasts section of the iTunes Store, iTunes users have now subscribed to one billion podcasts. Originally introduced in 2005, Podcasts allow both individuals and major companies to broadcast episodic radio-style shows. Apple offers thousands of different Podcasts that are available via iTunes or its Podcasts iOS app [App Store].

Not really related to movies, but as a podcaster, and haivng podcasts here on MovieByte, it is of interest to me. 1 Billion subs is a lot. I think this podcast thing is going to catch on!

Here’s a scoop from the Marvel big boss, although, beware apparent minor(ish) spoilers for Thor: The Dark World. There’s definitely a bit about Loki that I wish I had not heard, but overall I doubt if it’s a very big deal.

So apparently Thanos will be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy as the mastermind. And as I’ve already mentioned briefly, Ultron will indeed first be seen in Avengers 2. I’m glad that Marvel seems to do a good job of knowing what things to keep in the cinematic universe, and what things are okay to tell differently than the comics.

Earlier this year, director Bryan Singer made headlines when he revealed the 2014 sequel to X-Men First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, would not only bring back the First Class cast, but most of the cast from the original trilogy too. That created all kinds of questions, even though many fans are familiar with the time travel storyline of the title.

So how do you get fans excited for a film that’s over a year away and still filming? You bring the whole cast to San Diego Comic-Con‘s Hall H and present a brand new trailer that lays out some of the story. That story shows Professor X…

Alfonso Cuaron both likes, and dislikes, the teaser trailer for his upcoming film Gravity. He told Hall H at Comic-Con a trailer full of explosions doesn’t really tell the true story of the movie. He said the movie is a very intense, emotional journey that puts the viewer in an immersive experience. Hopefully, that experience should make them feel like they’re floating in space. Plus, there’s no sound in space, so you can’t hear any explosions.

To illustrate, he showed a several minute long, long take featuring stars George Clooneyand Sandra Bullock at the moment where they realize this…

Kind of wish I were there. Of course, poor Tom Hiddleston could barely keep his character together, smiling, smirking, laughing and carrying on… and the audience loved it. Tom is a pretty cool fellow.

Enjoy.

Warner Bros. has been trying to get Wonder Woman to the big screen for years, and they’re finally on the verge of success. The catch? She’ll be rendered in Lego bricks rather than flesh and blood.

We’ve known for some time that Lego Batman and Superman would appear in the upcoming The Lego Movie, played by Will Arnett and Channing Tatum, respectively. During today’s Warner Bros. panel at San Diego Comic-Con, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller and co-director Chris McKay revealed that they’d also be joined by Justice League teammates Lego Wonder Woman, voiced by Cobie Smulders, and…
