“I
have to stop reading comments because there’s a lot of good ones but
then when you see one bad one like, ‘Oh you look ugly’, that’s what’s
going to stick with you. […] But I’m trying, I
guess, to restructure Instagram and Twitter to a place where, yes — you
can be subject to other people’s opinions — but you can also think,‘I’m
gonna use this word or image again, like a protest,’ because if you’re
just continuing to do what you’re doing then people will start to
realise that you’re not doing it for them.”
Boyega will play the son of the character played by Idris Elba in the del Toro-directed original film. Universal will release the film worldwide, everywhere but China. The 2013 original grossed $411 million. Thomas Tull, Mary Parent, Jon Jashni, and del Toro will produce the action adventure film along with Boyega and Femi Oguns under their Upper Room Productions shingle. Cale Boyter is executive producer.
The picture is a beach head project for Legendary, under the leadership of Parent, who became Tull’s vice chairman of Worldwide Production after Jashni exited to start his own venture. The principals have confirmed to Deadline they found their man in Boyega. “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.”
I love that thing where James is like health-mom #1 with his smoothies and going out for a run every morning ask being really buff and whenever anyone asks for snacks he hands him this bag of neutral nuts and a kiss on their forehead.
I love it even more when you pair this James with super unhealthy Remus who wakes up late, hisses at anyone who tries to make him go outside, have Taco-Thursday’s where he only eats tacos the entire day (like breakfast, lunch and dinner) and sneezes as soon as he’s close to anything green or shaped like a vegetable.
