Nice evaluation of the script Gendo'sPapa. However GDT himself already confirmed that the original script has been heavily modified. The concept, by the way, remains the same he said (learned that from the deltorofilms(dot)com site forum).

Mmmm. Building walls around the big cities for the rich is certainly an addition to the script.

Clearly that idea is not going to end well for those in the domes.

so that's what Pacific Rim is all about.

when I first heard the title, I assumed it was going to be a film about blue collar people that work in a refinery of sorts in the middle of the ocean fighting monsters straight out of the works of H.P. Lovecraft and whatnot. Sort of like if The Thing was in the water, but nothing like Leviathan.

now that I heard about what it really is about, it exceeds what I assumed it was going to be.

Maybe that will be the plot of 'Atlantic Rim' (you know... Asylum...).
By the way, how do you imagine the mechs? My 2 cents on a mix between live action Transformers and the concept design for the proposed live action movie of Taekwon V.

FINALLY! Something more than just "we're making a movie, you can't see it yet" news.

That trailer really sold the sense of scale and weight everything had to it. (Unlike Transformers.) I'm genuinely impressed by what I've seen so far.

Holy shit, that film is going to have serious problems if they didn't get Valve's approval. I mean, its her voice, but that particular sequence of inflection is... all gladOS really is. Even if there's no snark.

It just sounds like a similar voice synthesizer to me, although the timbre of the voice is evocative of GLaDOS. Can they really get in trouble for that?

Add a "DAT"/"DOS" in front of each of these and you have my reaction.

Edit: By the way guys, del Toro got Glados legit like.

I am in geek heaven, now if someone could translate some of the jaeger plans and the docs they have on the website from Chinese, Japanese, and one may be Spanish.

It isn't a synthesizer. Or rather, it isn't software-generated voice. That's the same actress who did GLaDOS (according to Kotaku, anyway). Since GLaDOS is mostly a disembodied voice (her character was mostly all voice), there's definitely a copyright claim there if Valve was interested in litigation. MGM got Honda to pull a commercial over a Bond-like character -- this is much more literal infringement than that.
