Kaiju fans are drooling in anticipation for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming giant monster flick, Pacific Rim from Legendary Pictures. Everything released so far from the studio is really making this film look like it’s going to be a monster hit (pardon the pun) with genre audiences and I can’t wait to see it. A new one-sheet was released today that highlights one of the Jaeger robots towering over humanity, digg it!
Pacific Rim is directed by Guillermo del Toro from a script by himself and Travis Beacham. It stars Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, Idris Elba, Clifton Collins Jr., Charlie Day, Robert Maillet, Burn Gorman, and Rinko Kikuchi.
Pacific Rim stomps into theaters on July 12th, 2013
Plot Synopsis
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes–a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)–who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
