The still comes courtesy of USA Today in a report highlighting a whole host of variuous movie and TV appearances at this years Comic-Con 2012 in San Diego. Hunnam and Kikuchi are joined by Ron Perlman (‘Season of the Witch’), Idris Elba (‘The Wire’), Charlie Day (‘Horrible Bosses’), Robert Kazinsky (‘Eastenders’), Clifton Collins Jr and Max Martini in the sci-fi epic. Check out the new still below.
“Legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, start rising from the sea and begin a war that would takes millions of lives and consumes 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 from 12 July 2013.
