Warner Bros. released a second viral video for Guillermo del Toro’s epic, Pacific Rim. A news station is covering a monster attack on San Fransisco, and well . . . there’s more than enough glimpses of the massive scale of one of the monsters and the destruction they bring. No sign of the mechs yet, but it does show that humans aren’t taking it lying down.
Check out the video. You won’t be disappointed.
The title X-Men: Days of Future Past is looking more and more like a meta title. First, the director of the first two X-Men flicks, Bryan Singer, is back on board, and now?

Don’t worry, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are still in; there’s just some time traveling going on.

The highly enjoyable series Community has lost one of its cast members. Comedic actor Chevy Chase made a mutual agreement to part ways with the show.
