  • 25th July 2016 - Charlie Hunnam Not Returning
    Charlie Hunnam dropped by Yahoo Movies’ studio at San Diego Comic-Con to talk about his starring role in Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, which arrives next spring. We also took the opportunity to ask him about the big-budget project that, unfortunately, won’t wind up on his résumé: Pacific Rim: Maelstrom.

    In the clip above, Hunnam tells us that he was approached to reprise his role as hero Raleigh Becket in Steven S. DeKnight’s upcoming sequel to Guillermo Del Toro’s 2013 monster mash, about humanity’s efforts to combat Godzilla-like “kaiju” monsters by using equally titanic human-controlled mecha-robots. Alas, Hunnam was forced to exit the production at an early stage due to scheduling conflicts, but watch the clip above and you’ll see he’s still very much rooting for the sequel: “I’m very excited about it. I’m glad they’re making it.”

  • 1st July 2016 - Release Date Announced + Scott Eastwood Eyed for Key Role
    EXCLUSIVE: After staking out a February 18, 2018 release date earlier today, Legendary Pictures is targeting Scott Eastwood for a key role alongside John Boyega in the second installment of its Pacific Rim franchise. Deadline revealed June 6 that Legendary was building the Steven S. DeKnight-directed sequel around the Star Wars: The Force Awakens star, and the company is now casting up in earnest and I think Eastwood will be the next to join the fold if his deal makes.

    The picture begins production late this year, based on the world created by Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham. Boyega will play the son of the character played by Idris Elba in the del Toro-directed original film. It wasn’t clear what the Eastwood role would be in a film that Universal will release worldwide, everywhere but China. The 2013 original grossed $411 million.

    “It is undeniable that with all his talent and natural charm, John stands out amongst today’s generation of young leading men,” said Parent.

    Said del Toro: “I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox. The Pacific Rim universe will be reinforced with him as a leading man as it continues to be a multicultural, multi-layered world. ‘The World saving the world’ was our goal and I couldn’t think of a better man for the job.”
