Not only is John Boyega the star of Pacific Rim Uprising , he ’s also a producer . And when io9 spoke to the film ’s film director , Steven S. DeKnight , he explained there was one stadium in particular where Boyega really generate his hand dirty in condition of producing .
“ He [ is n’t ] a guy cable that wants to get his fingers in everything , ” DeKnight told io9 . “ He kept a perspective of the entire movie , had great suggestions about this second , that moment . And he was really concerned in the action scenes . Particularly , the battle in Mega Tokyo . ”
DeKnight recall that when he showed Boyega what they had planned for the film ’s climactic battle , the star now had ideas to share .
“ He pronounce , ‘ I sleep together everything . I think we can kick it up another notch , ’ ” DeKnight said . “ So he came over to play with Peter Chiang , my visual effects supervisory program from Double Negative , and myself . We were in Sydney . We congeal up this vast board with the layout of the map of Mega Tokyo and used toy to fundamentally roleplay for two day and forecast out even more interesting thing to do . ”
DeKnight admitted that when he hear the star was also a producer , he was trepidatious — but that in the goal , it worked out well . “ When I heard we were get Boyega I was like ‘ Yay ! ’ When I heard he was a producer I was like ‘ Ooo . That could go either manner , ’ ” the manager said . “ [ But ] he was a tremendous producer . He was always so involved but not bear down . ”
And for anyone who wants to see John Boyega play with toys for two day trying to break down a heavy action scene , that could finally happen .
“ I do n’t live if it ’s on the DVD but there is footage of that , ” he allege . We ’ll keep our fingers scotch .
