Portal’s GLaDOS Debuts In New Guillermo del Toro Movie

While you may have been expecting a Portal centric movie, GLaDOS, the evil computer gamers love to hate with her quick wit and charm has landed a spot on Guillermo del Toro’s new movie Pacific Rim.

Del Toro being a fan of the Portal series is having Ellen McClain, the voice actress behind GLaDOS reprising the voice from the series to portray an A.I. system connected to one of the robots.

Now you may be wondering what exactly the movie entails.

Well it appears that if we looking for advanced life out in the cosmos that we really need to look under the sea as a portal has erupted deep on the ocean floor where massive creatures known as Kaiju have begun appearing and rampaging the local areas.

Since humans don’t back down from a fight and this being a del Toro movie, the nations of world banded together to build massive human controlled robots called Jaegers to bash those nasty monsters back into the portal they came from.

While no word as to whether fans of GLaDOS can expect to hear that narcissistic, witty charm of hers for this new A.I. you can bet to see plenty of monster bashing fun when it releases in standard, 3-D, and IMAX 3D on July 12, 2013.

Check out the trailer and leave a comment below letting us know if this digs up fond memories of Godzilla or Robot Jox?

    Little bit of Master Chief in there too with that one Jaeger’s visor.

    I’ve been looking forward to this movie, giant monsters and mecha with Del Toro directing? That sounds like it will be fun.

    Cool to hear Ellen McClain has a voice role in it.    I hope they give her some good one-liners.

    It looks cool, probably gonna see it in theaters…

    But GlaDOS seems kinda out of place here.  Not sure if that’s me or if the tone is just a bit jarring.

    So it’s like a high budget version of power rangers :)

    Evangelion?  Anyone else?

    • DoctorOverlord

      Nah, there’s only one cute gal in the cast.  That breaks from any Gainex story :)  

      But seriously, I’m thinking this movie is more reminiscent of the older, classic giant robot anime that Evangelion was based on.    Stuff like Mazinger Z, Getta Robo and Raideen.   Giant robots before Gundam were all about fighting monsters   (And now I feel old lol.)

      Evangelion had lots of religious symbolism and weird psychological themes in its story.    The older giant robot anime were just straight-up monster fights although they still had interesting characters and storylines.    I think this flick is going to be more like that.

    Evangelion more than anything els ide say

    Yeahhhh… the mech combat gets me a lot more excited than GLaDOS’ voice. Because I have a feeling that, in the movie, she will not go nuts and try to murder everyone. And a robotic voice that just says random commands is background noise. Unless it’s Martin Sheen saying it.

    Till the end I was hoping: “Please not in 3D… please… shit”. :(
    Just another movie I have to wait till home entertainment release.

    Kinda neat to hear the voice of Glados again but it won’t be her personality.  I am really interested in seeing how the fights go.  It could be what I hoped the Transformer movies would be like.  I want brutal, loud, hardcore fights!

    This movie looks terrible, but il probably see it anyway out of curiosity now =/
