Hey John! As an actor, what's the biggest difference between filming a huge, effects-heavy film like Star Wars
or Pacific Rim and a smaller, more character driven film like Detroit? Do you find one "easier" than the other?
Edit: Spelling/grammar
No, but it's the same process on set actually in telling all these stories. One isn't easier, it's just
different in the sense that there's...the characters are different, the seriousness and energy on set is
different, but I do think it's all the same experience.

Hey John! From your experience, what is the best thing a director can do in order to help their actors elevate
their performances?
Collaborate! It's the actor's job to fill out a role that is obviously written on the script. It just needs life
and energy breathed into it and you need to be collaborative with your actor in order to find new ideas
and new ways to do things that you find you just create genius.
Treeplum 777 points 5 hours ago

As a first time producer in Pacific Rim Uprising, what were some new things you learned about the whole
movie making processes that you hadn't experienced before as an actor?
I didn't know that your hours, they expand, you're doing a lot of work after hours to make sure that by
the next morning creatively the scene is in a good condition or creatively at the same time the actors
understand and there may be a different point of view or different emphasis that otherwise would have
been normal and so obviously constantly improving the script and that's something I'm not used to
obviously as an actor i'm used to kind of a set way and that's something for sure.
I see, thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

Hope to see Uprising soon!
brekor197 156 points 5 hours ago
Have you always wanted to be an actor? at what age did you get into acting?
I've always wanted to be an actor ever since that was a decision process in my head and I wanted to
act since the age of 9.
HARRY-B0UGHNER 580 points 5 hours ago
Big fan!
How much prep work did you have to do on Idris Elba for Uprising? You play his son, so I would assume you
try to somehow resemble his traits in this film?
No actually, I definitely wanted to have the same gravity and same command that Stacker had but
Jake starts off quite different to his character so we had to make our own unique character.
HARRY-B0UGHNER 277 points 4 hours ago
Holy shit it’s John Boyega

ScorchRaserik 386 points 4 hours ago
Hi John!
What's your first Star Wars memory? How were you introduced to the saga?
Getting a Darth Maul action figure passed down to me by my sister. It belonged to my sister and then
it was mine. The black and red was a bit scratched but it still made for a good figure for a few years
and then I watched the prequel films.

SpiffShientz 508 points 3 hours ago
Why don't they just call that one the female?

sdg_eph1 400 points 3 hours ago
My guess is that it's based on which has eggs and which has sperm.
Alis451 127 points 2 hours ago
the female grows the eggs, and puts them into the male's pouch. he just carries them
around, instead of saying he is pregnant, saying he is the nest would be more apt.
starrytreks 741 points 5 hours ago
Hey John! Firstly, I want to say thank you for adding another chapter to the Pacific Rim story- it means so
much! Pacific Rim is one of my favorite films, so when I heard you were rebooting it, I couldn't contain my
excitement!
My question is this; do you remember a day on set that was particularly trying? What happened (if you can
say) and how did you rise above whatever difficulties you experienced that day?
I think on set in general there's always going to be tough days. Especially when I'm juggling the acting
role and the producing role, and there was a day that the CG pre-visuals didn't add up to what we
were doing because ideas are always coming and sometimes it's hard to get the rest of the team up to
speed. So that was a tough day, but because everyone is so nice and collaborative, we got through it.
I slept very well that night. Very very well.
aidopple 91 points 2 hours ago
Don't think rebooting is the right word. It's a direct sequel

What inspired you to take on a producing role for Pacific Rim Uprising?
For me it was the opportunity to be involved in creative process early on in a project which otherwise
you don't get to be involved in as an actor and also as a scifi fan to kind of get impacts most of the
ideas that most of the time I would keep to myself, to be given the chance to display them was
something that was very very fun. And it leads your career forward in a very good way.

I was living on my estate when I was filming Attack The Block and they always brought like fancy cars
to come and pick us up and for me that just brought too much attention, to all were trying to do so I
would always cycle to sit past the big ol’ Mercedes Benz's trying to not raise attention to nearby
civilians.

Hi John! A fellow actor here from Mexico. My name is Abraham Vega and I'm 24 years old.
I have been in the business for around 19 years already as a Voice Actor. I've done lots of stuff during my
career and recently (Since Star Wars episode VII) I've been doing all the professional voice over work as YOU!
I'M YOUR VOICE IN LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH!
I was wondering if you have any idea of our work as voice over talents and also wanted to tell you how much
of an honor has been making your voice and translating the passion you put in your characters with my voice.
You can find me on Twitter as @TheAbeVega
I'd love to meet you or at least get to know how you feel about all of this.

Thanks for doing this, John! Two part question:

I imagine that you're incredibly grateful for your role as Finn in Star Wars, but I'm wondering, are you
worried at all as an actor that you'll only be thought of as "that guy from Star Wars"? And that it might be
difficult to land original roles going forward? If so, how do you think you can combat it?
How did you find out that you were going to be cast in Star Wars? And what was your first thought when
you were told?

Hey John, since you’re a master of accents, what accent would you most wanna try next?
An Australian would be fun. I'd want to learn that, that'd be cool.

Hi! Two questions: 1. if you could adapt any book to film or theatre, what would it be, and why? 2. were Finn
and Poe holding hands when they emerged to see Rey floating all the rocks on Crait?
thank you for this & your fantastic work & presence <3

Are you force sensitive?

Let's just say I never have to go to the remote control myself, I use the force.
Jacksonteague 32 points 2 hours ago
That’s not how the force works!

Who would win in a fight, a grizzly bear or a silver back gorilla?

Haha!. Ooh grizzly bear or silverback gorilla. Silverback gorilla is going to go for the eyes. The grizzly
bear--I think the grizzly bear would win. Yea, 100%

How was it like producing your first film and what has it taught you?
lordlucid 34 points 4 hours ago
Hey John,
If you hadn't gone into acting, where do you think you'd be now? Did you ever have a backup before you hit it
big?
I never had time for a backup because I felt like you can't really work towards the main goal and also
in the same breath work towards the second backup with the same intensity. So no, no backups for
me.

Is Harrison Ford as grumpy as he looks?
