Geekscape 296: ‘Pacific Rim’ Screenwriter Travis Beacham!

It’s time to talk giant robots fighting Kaiju monsters! ‘Pacific Rim’ is two weeks away from hitting theaters and this week we’ve got ‘Pacific Rim’s screenwriter Travis Beacham in studio to talk about the upcoming film, working with Guillermo Del Toro and the comic book hardback prequel ‘Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero’! Travis and I talk about the bringing Pacific Rim to theaters, the joy of creating the comic book and the current trend of remakes versus original ideas. Does Pacific Rim feel like a breathe of fresh air or a Hollywood risk? Also, what was it like growing up as a geek and probably the best Star Wars Episode 1 story of all time! Plus! We say goodbye to Richard Matheson, one of the greatest horror writers of all time!

Also, don’t miss our very own Allie Hanley’s original interview with Travis about ‘Pacific Rim’ and his upcoming ‘Ballistic City’!
