"Pacific · Rim: Uprising" Steven S. Denite Director Special Interview
「ROBOT魂〈SIDE JAEGER〉ジプシー・アベンジャー」について
――Immediately, how about "ROBOT SPIRITS
デナイト監督：目の前の実物を早く触ってみたいと思っていたんですよ（笑）。映画の製作前から、トイはどうなるのかすごく楽しみにしていたので、実物にすごく感動しています。
- How is the degree of reproduction compared to the image?
デナイト監督：バンダイの作るプロダクトは以前から素晴らしいと思っていましたが、正直、ディテールから可動域まで、これほどのものができるとは予想していませんでした。
Since this time's Jaeger is a level detail that can be said to be more than twice the previous work, it is a moving quality from the standpoint of the director.
-I think Jaeger will have a fierce battle in the new work "Pacific Rim: Uprising", but is it possible to reproduce it in the play with the ROBOT SPIRITS?
デナイト監督：この可動域があれば、いくらでも再現できるはずです。ぜひ新作を観てから、ROBOT魂を遊んでもらいたいですね。
Even if I am a fan of the work, I absolutely will play all the Jaegers released in the future (laugh).
映画『パシフィック・リム：アップライジング』
- Please tell us about the new "Pacific · Rim: Uprising".
デナイト監督：前作から10年後を舞台とした、まさに続編です。
In the previous work, Jaeger belonged to each country, but this time all Jaeger belongs to the Allied military military organization PPDC (Pan Pacific Defense Corps), and the whole world is united to the crisis of humankind I will face it.
- Was it a lot of pressure to undertake a sequel to Dell Toro's huge hits?
デナイト監督：もちろん！ デル・トロ監督は世界一独特なスタイルをもっているので、非常に難題でした。
What I did in 10 years later was the intention to revamp the world view with technology evolution by passing time from the story of the previous work.
- How about a new Jaeger?
デナイト監督：前作のイェーガーはすべて破壊されてしまったので、今回はゼロから新開発されたイェーガーです。それゆえに旧式と比べて、かなり進化しています。
The movement is also agile compared with the previous work, and a new operation system using the magnetic force called "MARGRAVE" is one of the highlights. In "MARGLAVE", the frame which restricted the movement of the pilot in the previous work disappeared, and it is made to be able to take action more freely.
Detail inside the cockpit is also evolving, so I would like you to pay attention to it. Since the monsters of "precursor" which is hostile to it are also evolving, the battle becomes more intense.
――The evolution of the main character in the sequel is like Japanese robot anime, isn't it? In the olden days, there was a change of protagonist from MAZINGER Z to Great Mazinger.
デナイト監督：もちろん、日本のロボットアニメへのオマージュは非常に意識しています。
It is also the part inherited from the previous director Del Toro. Also, I myself watched "Ultraman" when I was a kid, so I think you can feel the influence in the battle scene with monsters.
日本の特撮やアニメの影響
- What kind of works do you like in Japanese special effects and animation?
デナイト監督：もちろん一番は『ゴジラ』！ その歴史を含めてすべて愛しています。
"Monster total advance" in which monsters fight all-star, in particular, was shocked when they were children. And the impact of "Gundam" was also great.
- Do you have any works that you particularly like, "Gundam"?
デナイト監督：全作本当に好きなので、「一番好きな映画は何ですか？」と同じぐらい難しい質問ですね（笑）。
If I had to answer, I'd say the first Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam, and its sequel, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, are pretty cool. But all of them are great, so I can't choose.
Rather than that, I think that "Mobile Suit Gundam" should also be made into a live-action movie.
- Do you feel like Denite himself want to make it yourself?
デナイト監督：スケジュールは空いていますよ（笑）。実際、今はCGも含めてテクノロジーはかなり進化しているので、本当に実写化は可能です。デル・トロ監督の『パシフィック・リム』から4年経っただけで、映画のテクノロジーは確実に進化していますからね。
- In the end, please give a message to Japanese fans.
デナイト監督：今回のクライマックスシーンは東京が戦場です。まさに子供の頃、『ウルトラマン』や『ゴジラ』で観た聖地で怪獣が戦うシーンを、監督として自ら手掛けられたのはすごく嬉しかったです。
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making this movie. I was playing with a toy of "Star Wars" when I was a child, but the pleasure at that time is still unforgettable memories.
I'm sure that once you have the ROBOT SPIRITS, it will be as important to you as I was when I was a kid.
──Thank you very much.
