Guillermo del Toro moving away from creepy things that go bump in the night? It makes me sad but to see the man direct an alien invasion epic with ROBOTS makes my geeky innards flutter with joy.
To prepare for the Pacific Rim Comic Con Panel this Saturday at San Diego Comic Con (Someone please sponsor me for next year... like a little kitty that needs a home!!! A home where there are celebrities and Movie exclusives ALL ROUND!!!!) Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures have unleashed a robo-tastic teaser poster for the film which stars Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman and a whole host of other fine actors from around the world!
Below is the poster and the Synopsis but to find out about the Pacific Rim panel as it happens this Saturday 14th July in San Diego, it's probably best you head over to the Pacific Rim facebook page, they'll be teasing us to high heaven with robotic and alien delights!!!
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.
