Looking somewhat like a spiced up amalgamation of ‘Godzilla’, ‘Alien’ and ‘Transformers’ is Guillermo Del Toro’s sure-fire 2013 Summer blockbuster ‘Pacific Rim’. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have unleashed the new official trailer for the sci-fi epic hitting theatres next July. And along with the effects-laden trailer comes another couple of new posters . ‘Pacific Rim’ stars 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. Head below for the new assets.
“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’ smashes into theatres everywhere from 12 July 2013.
