Thank Guillermo del Toro for Giant Robots! New Comic-Con Poster for PACIFIC RIM


Thank you, Guillermo del Toro, I needed giant mechs back in my life! A few days ago, we brought you a look at Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), Rinko Kikuchi (The Brothers Bloom), and Idris Elba (Prometheus) on set and suited up for robot battle against the giant sea monsters of Pacific Rim.

Check out the Comic-Con poster for del Toro’s Pacific Rim, featuring our first good look at the giant mechs below!

Synopsis:

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 directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Clifton Collins Jr., Max Martini, Rinko Kikuchi and Diego Klattenhoff is slated to hit theaters on July 12th, 2013.
