EPIC SCI-FI “PACIFIC RIM” UNLEASHES TRAILER
From acclaimed filmmaker
Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures' “Pacific
Rim.” Watch the sci-fi action-adventure's trailer here.
In
the film, 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.
Oscar®
nominee Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth”) is directing the epic film from
a script by Travis Beacham (“Clash of the Titans”). Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and
Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.
The
film stars Charlie Hunnam (TV’s “Sons of Anarchy”), Idris Elba (“Thor”), Rinko
Kikuchi (“The Brothers Bloom”), Charlie Day (“Horrible Bosses”), and Ron
Perlman (the “Hellboy” films). The ensemble cast also includes Max Martini,
Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego
Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke.
Del
Toro’s behind-the-scenes team includes Academy Award®-winning director of
photography Guillermo Navarro, production designer Andrew Neskoromny, editor
Peter Amundson, and costume designer Kate Hawley.
Slated
for release in the Philippines on July 2013, “Pacific Rim” is a presentation of
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures and will be distributed by Warner
Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
