    Yeah but hopefully not that one line where Idris Elba says something like, "today, the world won't end!" or something...I wouldnt want John to simply be taking over that role all over again

    I enjoyed the first movie, I'm glad that John is on board.

    I want him to play against-stereotype as the last movie had a black guy who pretty much is Will Smith 2.0 .

    We'll see then, I had no idea he was going to be a part of this.

    Smiles, nods and gets out crackers :)


    Ahhh Kaiju... It's like a soothing balm to the soul. Love them, and seeing modern movie incarnations of this art is a guilty pleasure of mine, not normally admitted to in public.

    I think JB would have a lot to offer this sort of movie and see it being a good fit. This has increased my excitement levels for this film significantly.

    They were actually quite cute during my second viewing. Kinda felt sorry for them being slaves. I hope one day we will see pure silliness: Gypsy Danger 2 rides on a liberated Kaiju into war against those evil basterd;). A hybrid Jäger/Kaiju would be cool too. Or a 4 legged Jäger with a giant lazor on his head.:D;)

    Oh stop, these sorts of notions turn me into a giddy excited schoolgirl! Love the idea of a 4 legged Jager with the head laser, it could take on a massive flying kaiju, Rodan style. Kaiju isn't kaiju without the cheese and crackers, lol.

    I think I can blame too much Power Rangers in my youth for starting me on the cheesy kaiju path, lol.

    I've always felt sorry for the kaiju, even the evil ones.

    They are just misunderstood. Maybe laser isn't the best choice, since the blue goo will poison the landscape, it is about time that they bring thunder to thealien homeplanet, so that doesn't matter any more. So maybe a head with an attached chainsaw, like this little badass.

    BTW they are hiring cats.

    If you mean Garrett Hedlund from Tron Legacy, he was not in Pacific Rim. That was Charlie Hunnam.

    D'oh!

    They all look alike. Hemsworth's little brother too... the one in the Independence Day sequel. I confuse them guys all the time.

    Happy for John, but I think he's better than a sequel to a flopbuster.

    I wonder if that cats are being hired to do the mo-cap performances for the kaijus if there are any in this one.

    I can see why he was brought in, save it from sinking into the Pacific.

    Glad to see him getting more roles I feel he is a great actor. I'm personally not a fan of Pacific Rim.
