New Footage From PACIFIC RIM UPRISING Featured in Tokyo Comic-Con Reel
I don't know about you, but I'm actually pretty pumped up about director Steven S. DeKnight's Pacific Rim Uprising. I enjoyed the first film for what it was and it looks like this sequel is going to be just as entertaining. Who knows, maybe there's a chance that it could turn out even better.
What I liked so much about the first movie is that it really brought out that kid in me and if this sequel is able to once again capture that magic, of course, I'm going to enjoy it! Today we have a new featurette to share with you that originally screened at Tokyo Comic-Con. The reel includes some great new footage that fans are going to want to see. It also features interviews with members of the cast and crew talking about their excitement in getting to make this movie
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.
John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, 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 (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer 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.
The film also stars Jing Tian, Burn Gorman, Adria Arjona and Charlie Day. Pacific Rim: Uprising opens in theaters on March 23, 2018.
