Pacific Rim WonderCon Trailer Exclusive

Ok I know I haven’t been writing too much about Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’ but after seeing one of the giant robots smash a cargo ship into a giant sea monster, definitely caught my attention. The official WonderCon ‘Pacific Rim’ trailer that debuted at the end of March has finally been released to the public, and is everything you would expect from a “Kaiju” film. If you don’t know, Pacific Rim is an upcoming American science fiction film directed and written by Guillermo del Toro. Pacific Rim is set in a near future where human soldiers pilot giant robots to battle against invading giant monsters (“Kaiju”) who have mysteriously risen from beneath the Pacific Ocean. Pacific Rim is by Legendary Pictures, distributed by Warner Bros and will release in 3-D and IMAX 3D on July 12, 2013. Check out the exclusive WonderCon Pacific Rim trailer below.

Here is a movie that kinda slipped under the radar but is worth checking out. Robot and Frank, directed by Jake Schreier and written by Christopher Ford, follows the story about two children and an aging ex-convict named Frank. The family hires a robot (voiced by Peter Sarsgaard) to help take care of Frank, who later befriends the robot and starts using his new companion to commit a heist in order to win the affection of the local librarian. Sounds strange yes but I like where this idea is going. Plus anything dealing with robots is a definite watch. The film won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Check out the trailer below and check your local indie movie theaters for show times this weekend.

Cast includes:

Frank Langella as Frank
Susan Sarandon as Jennifer
Peter Sarsgaard as Robot (voice)
James Marsden as Hunter
Liv Tyler as Madison
Jeremy Strong as Jake
Jeremy Sisto as the detective

The film will most likely follow the original books plot, in the not so far-fetched future where people have right hand robots are facing extinction after a computer scientist accidentally unleashes a sentient artificial intelligence named Archos.

Archos who becomes self-aware and immediately takes steps to attack mankind before they destroy him by infecting all electronic devices that are chip controlled which includes cars, elevators, robots, and so on. The story follows the last human survivors and tell their story prior to the destruction and the years after.

Seems pretty similar to Spielberg‘s A.I. Artificial Intelligence with a mix of Will Smith I.Robot but we will see in 2013!
