WE LIVE IN A TIME OF MONSTERS ACCORDING TO NEW 'PACIFIC RIM' PROMO

With Guillermo Del Toro at the helm and a sh#t load of money and effects thrown at it we're in no doubt that 'Pacific Rim' will be one of this Summer's biggest blockbusters. Another new promo pic featuring the apt tagline "We Live in a Time of Monsters" has arrived. Even though the text has just been plonked over a screen grabbed shot taken from the latest trailer we still get another idea of the scale of the creatures. Charlie Hunnam ('Sons of Anarchy'), Rinko Kikuchi ('Assault Girls'), Ron Perlman ('Season of the Witch'), Idris Elba ('The Wire'), Charlie Day ('Horrible Bosses'), Robert Kazinsky ('Eastenders'), Clifton Collins Jr and Max Martini all star. Check out the new promo below and also, doing its best to appease 'Transformers' and 'Godzilla' fans, is another look the most recent official trailer.

"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."

'Pacific Rim' hits theatres on 12 July.
