Must-Watch: First Trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’
Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for director Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming film, Pacific Rim. The film is set in an apocalyptic future in which humanity is fighting a hopeless war against legions of giant creatures, known as Kaiju. Despite devising powerful robots called Jaegers, humans are on the verge of defeat and must turn to two unlikely heroes.
It’s been five years since Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) directed a film and while this looks visually astounding, it’s tough to tell whether it will anything more than a post-apocalyptic rich man’s version of Real Steel (oh wait, you probably forgot all about that movie already). At any rate, I’m still pretty excited for this.
Watch the trailer below or click over to Apple for HD. Pacific Rim opens in 3D on July 12th, 2013 and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba and Rinko Kikuchi.

This is going to rock. I have faith in del Toro.
Yea I hope so. The trailer is keeping me cautious
Very excited about this. It’ll be great to see some new and different visuals from Guillermo del Toro, even though I love the worlds he’s created with Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy. This looks brills!
Hopefully, they continue to work on the CGI for this. It doesn’t look finished.
LOL. So I was just saying to myself, Dude, it’s been AGES since youve stopped by Anomalous Material… let’s go see what they’re up to.
And I get rewarded. See how simple that is? LOL
Yeah, awesome. Saw this (or at least an assemblage of footage very similar) at Comic-Con and it blew everyone away. It was a big winner there, for sure. I cant wait for this one!
Ahaha well thanks for dropping by once more Dan. Always great to see you around these parts
Looks fantastic! Idris Elba is so bad ass in this trailer.

Well, maybe with the exception of Rockn’n'Rolla and the scene where he is riding the motorcycle in a goofy hat ^^
