Edward Cheang's top pick: Pacific Rim
Do you have a book, movie or show recommendation? Send us your top picks using this form . I recommend the film Pacific Rim. It is exciting and full of adventure. Watch this movie and discover a battle between kaiju (giant monsters) and robots. Released in 2013, Pacific Rim is a film about kaiju coming to Earth. You will witness man-made robots, as big as the kaiju, fighting using different weapons to defend Earth. I highly recommend this movie to people who enjoy watching fights, action and monsters because it keeps the viewer hooked. Pacific Rim has a sequel called Pacific Rim: Uprising. This second movie also has a wonderful storyline. The film franchise also has an animated television series which creates a richer and deeper story for fans. My favourite robot fighter – which are called Jaegers in the film – is Striker Eureka. This Jaeger is powerful and has a lot of weapons that can be used to kill a kaiju. Striker Eureka also has six barrels that store anti-kaiju missiles. It also has two blades on each hand. The robot is very fast and strong. Even if you watch it today, Pacific Rim remains a great film. You can watch it in Hong Kong on Netflix and HBO Max.

"Pacific Rim" TV Series in Works
Yara Sameh The 'Pacific Rim' TV series has found a home at Amazon. The live-action project, which Variety exclusively reported on in 2024, is now in development at Prime Video in a deal between lead studio Legendary Television and Amazon MGM Studios. As previously reported, Eric Heisserer will serve as writer and executive producer under his Chronology banner. The show is the first project under Chronology's first-look TV deal with Legendary. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, but the show will serve as a prequel to the films. According to sources, there is still the potential for new films in the franchise as well. The first film in the franchise was directed by Guillermo del Toro from a screenplay by del Toro and Travis Beacham. It came out in 2013 and grossed over $400 million at the global box office. The sequel, 'Pacific Rim Uprising,' bowed in 2018, while the anime series 'Pacific Rim: The Black' aired two seasons on Netflix between 2021 and 2022. The franchise also includes comic books, novels, toys, and more. In 'Pacific Rim,' an inter-dimensional rift opens at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, allowing massive monsters (a.k.a kaijus) to enter our world and begin attacking humanity. In response, humans begin constructing giant fighting robots called Jaegers. Heisserer was most recently the writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the 'Shadow and Bone' TV series at Netflix, which was based on the Grishaverse YA novels. He received an Academy Award nomination for best adapted screenplay for the film 'Arrival' in 2017. His other feature writing credits include the hit Netflix film 'Bird Box' as well as 'Lights Out,' 'Hours' (which he also directed), 'Bloodshot,' and the 2010 remake of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street.' This is the latest development news from Legendary TV and Amazon MGM Studios in recent weeks. It was previously reported that the two studios, along with Pacesetter Productions, had struck a deal to develop a series based G. T. Karber's murder mystery puzzles 'Murdle.' Legendary's current slate also includes the live-action Monsterverse series 'Monarch' at Apple TV+ as well as shows like 'Dune: Prophecy' at Max and the animated series 'The Legend of Lara Croft' at Netflix. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
