Smart move. March can be a good month for genre movies. Black Panther is going to be an event, it'll suck up all the oxygen from the room. I think Uprising would've been totally drowned out coming the week after.
I'm still not expecting much from this, personally.

Seems like a smart move. There's not a lot of competition in March, not that I expect the film to do all that great anyway, but still.
He's in the public domain. Companies will stupidly try to mine the property as much as they can.

off topic but pacific rim ultra-hd blu ray is fantastic for demonstrating how good a 4k HDR TV can look. OMG.
It absolutely is. Black Panther is going to be more successful than Ready Player One.

Lol. I hope to God he stays American in there. He's a really fun actor when he tries. I think he's a good choice to play one of the merry men
Hopefully it's decent. Medieval action has gotten a raw deal for a few years now
I wouldn't be too sure about that. It's Spielberg making a family-friendly movie again plus the marketing is going to show snippets of every big pop culture moment from every era. The movie is going to draw in people aged 10 to 60s.
It doesn't really matter anyway because PacRim will do whatever it does regardless of when it opens. It could open the same day as Black Panther or open with zero competition. Same end result imo.

She doesn't do much. She's pretty and isn't a bad actress at all but she's basically in the movie to appeal to China.
I'm imagining production has been set back a bit, since they couldn't do a Comic Con trailer in time.

I really don't have any expectations for this one, but I'm happy it's getting made and i do hope it's at least decent.
Haven't been impressed with the robot designs from what was shown so far (they seem more homogenized instead of being more unique), but I loved the first movie and if the monsters are good I think this could be a solid flick.

Other then the designs have they shown anything? Was there a teaser i missed?
So Ready Player One is Memberberries the Movie?

Not expecting too much from this, unfortunately. Glad it's here sooner rather than later though. The first one was a fun popcorn flick, if this achieves the same thing I'll be happy.
As someone who is significantly more excited for RPO than Black Panther, I don't think there was ever any doubt of this. Black Panther is a Marvel movie. If there's one thing those things do it's make money.

They've done a short teaser that's essentially an in universe ad. Last I heard it was cooked up really quickly in place of the trailer they didn't finish in time.

Oh... the least interesting thing in Kong Skull Island? I'm sure she'll be as equally interesting in Pacific Rim 2.
He's playing Little John. Taron Egerton (Kingsman) is playing Robin Hood.

I forgot she was in Skull Island. She had like 10 lines, if that. Legendary/Wanda Group is giving her a big push though. She got Kong, The Great Wall, and Pacific Rim Uprising all at once.

Haha yeah. I just watch Skull Island and the second I saw her I wondered if she has a bigger role in the Chinese version of the movie or something.

I think Pacific Rim and RP1 may both die a death to be honest.
I think John Boyega's a great actor but unless the trailers are amazing I think it's gonna be hard to sell a sequel to an expensive film that barely scraped a profit. Plus The Last Knight's done far. far less business than previous Transformers movies, is the genre on it's way out?
RP1's teaser just looked like a collection of obvious CGI to me. However, I guess it was only a teaser and a 'proper' trailer might give a better idea of the films narrative.
I appreciate that Spielberg deserves all the plaudits he's received but these days I'm just not convinced that his name is much of a box office draw anymore. His last two 'big' movies (BFG & Tintin) didn't do brilliantly. I think Tintin made a small profit but I think The BFG actually lost out, and both those should have been big appeal, family friends movies.

Oh come on, that's unfair. Tom Hiddleston was the least interesting part of that movie.
I'm fairly confident Black Panther will eat Ready Player One for breakfast.

Pretty much this. I have the feeling Ready Player One will bomb hard.
I'm guessing english is your second language.
It's Jamie Foxx starring Robin Hood.
Never heard of this got a trailer?
Is that the woman that said there are too many shows starring minorities?
Makes sense. Better to just get its own spotlight in a weaker month.
That being said I'm personally not very hyped for this. I know the first has a cult following but I was not very enthusiastic about it. This one better start building some actual hype. We'll see when a full trailer comes within the next few months.

The original was worth it to see a classic mecha launch sequence put to film so perfectly. The rest of the movie was icing on that cake.

They better not fuck up the music, Pacific Rim had one of the best soundtracks in forever.

Looks like he's playing Little John (cue euphemism about the size of penises) and it's starting ... Bono's (from U2) daughter as Marion?
