By Leave a Comment

Warner & Legendary are certainly hoping Pacific Rim will be the big ticket this summer and have started the hype early so that audiences will be all ready for the July release. Now Total Film has debuted two new concept art images from the movie.

The one above shows us a Russian Jaeger (the name for the film’s giant robots), while the one below has a strange skull Temple, smack dab in the middle of an urban environment. Presumably it’s the remains of one of the huge creatures that are spewing out of a portal deep under the ocean.

It’s these creatures that cause humankind to respond with the huge robots, which are controlled by humans in the head. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, and Rinko Kikuchi star, with Guillermo Del Toro directing.

Pacific Rim CES Trailer – Guillermo Del Toro shows off more monster madness

By Leave a Comment


It’s always a big job selling massive budget movies based on new ideas, partly because studios are so paranoid about have spent hundreds of millions on something nobody knows anything about. As a result, the publicity blitz for Pacific Rim has started early, with a second trailer released just a few weeks after the first.

It all looks rather cool in this CES promo, with Idris Elba introducing us to the 300ft tall monsters that are spewing out of a portal deep beneath the Pacific and attacking the coast, and so humanity fights back with gargantuan robots piloted by people.

The film is due out July 12th, 2013.

Idris Elba & Rinko Kikuchi Face-off In New Pacific Rim Image

By Leave a Comment

pacific-rim-preview-pic1A couple of weeks ago we had the first trailer for Pacific Rim, and now Warner Bros. has released a new image, giving us a look at Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost and Rinko Kikuchi as Mako Mori, in what appears to be some sort of war room.

It’s likely the place where acts as the central control for the film’s gigantic, human-piloted robots, which are sent into battle against enormous monsters that emerge from a dimensional rip in the Pacific and attack the coasts.

Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim is certainly one of the biggest movies to look out for next summer, so expect to hear much, much more about it in the run up to its July 12th 2013 release. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Burn Gorman, Diego Klattenhoff and Clifton Collins Jr. star.

Pacific Rim Trailer – Giant monsters and robots, what more do you want?

By Leave a Comment


Pacific Rim look like it could be an awful lot of fun. Just the idea is great – 300ft tall monsters are spewing out of a portal deep beneath the Pacific and attacking the coast, and so humanity fights back with gargantuan robots piloted by people. Now the first trailer for the movie has arrived, which makes it look even better, shot through with Guillermo Del Toro’s signature style.

It’s a movie that’s going to be told on a massive scale, with huge amounts of very cool special effects. Thankfully the trailer also gives us a little bit of the plot, suggesting someone is sending these monsters and we don’t know who.

The film is due out July 12th, 2013, but enjoy the trailer and new poster above and below.pacific-rim-new-poster

Pacific Rim Sequel Already In The Works, With Travis Beacham Writing

By Leave a Comment

Legendary Pictures obviously has high hopes for Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim, their big bet for a major box office hit next summer, as they’ve already hired screenwriter Travis Beacham to pen Pacific Rim 2. That should ensure that if the first film does hit big, they’ll be able to churn out a follow-up pretty quickly.

Beacham wrote the original screenplay for Pacific Rim, which follow a defense force consisting of pilots who operate giant robots known as Jaegers. They are pitted against giant Kaiju monsters that spill from some sort of portal in the Pacific and are intent on destroying the entire planet.

Guillermo del Toro is set to collaborate with Travis Beacham on the sequel screenplay, but at the moment it isn’t know if he will return to direct, or if he will hand the reins over to someone else. The director is currently commited to helming Crimson Peak for Universal Pictures, which begins shooting in January of 2014. (Source: THR)

Pacific Rim Giant Robot Jaeger Blueprints Online

By Leave a Comment

The hype for next summer’s Pacific Rim has started, with the first footage arriving online yesterday and now a series of blueprints of the giant mecha robots that are central to the movie. They show off the vast humanoid bots, who are humanity’s only hope when monsters begin emerging from a portal in the Pacific and attacking the coastlines.

The monsters are huge, up to 300ft tall, and so they need an equally enormous response. In true mecha fashion, these robots, known are Jaegers, are piloted by humans.

Interestingly the footage released yesterday showed monsters, known as Kaiju, attacking in 2013, but according to dates on these images, humanity doesn’t get its response up and running until 2018 at the earliest.

Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi star in Guillermo Del Toro’s film. It’s out July 12th, 2013. Let’s hope we get a full trailer really soon, as this one is looking exciting.

First Pacific Rim Footage Hits – Monsters are attacking San Francisco

By Leave a Comment


One of the big summer blockbuster bets of next year is Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim. It’s out July 12th, but so far we’ve seen little from it, other than a few relatively nondescript pictures. Now the first footage has shown up online, allied to a viral site that’s just launched.

There are two vids, one a ‘Test of the Kaiju Emergency Alert System’, which is little more than a test card, while the other is a news report about giant monsters attacke San Francisco. As monsters, aliens and the likes have an inborn hatred of world famous landmarks (according to the movies, anyway), it doesn’t bode well for the Golden gate Bridge.

It’s not clear if this is footage from the actual movie or specially created viral marketing footage. Either way we get our first look at the 300ft Kaiju monsters, that in the film come through some sort of portal in the Pacific. Mankind’s only way to respond if putting human pilots in massive robots, who take on this deadly threat. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi star.

The movie, which also stars Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam, is due out July 12th, 2013.

Beautiful The Hobbit & Pacific Rim Comic-Con Poster Debuts

By Leave a Comment

With Comic-Con due to kick off later this week, special posters for both The Hobbit and Pacific Rim have popped up online to prepare us for their panels. The Hobbit poster, as you can see above, is a beautiful affair, suggesting something that follows in the footsteps of Lord Of The Rings, but perhaps with a slightly more pastoral feel.

Pacific Rim meanwhile presents us with out first look at the giant robots promised in the movie, and it’s truly a whopper, with the human on its shoulder absolutely dwarfed by the massive mecha. The Guillermo Del Toro film seems human controlled massive bots going up against monsters that emerge around the Pacific.
