Final ‘Pacific Rim’ trailer and two posters featuring Jaegar robots and Kaiju monsters
Here’s the third and final trailer for Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim.
The trailer features Idris Elba‘s Stacker Pentecost enlist Charlie Hunnam’s washed-up pilot Raleigh Becket for a last-ditch attempt to save humanity. Becket will team with rookie Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) to steer the giant Jaeger robots as they go after the relentless Kaiju monsters.
The Pacific Rim posters are following the same pattern as the rest of the marketing by emphasizing the scale of the robots and monsters, but this is the first time a monster has gotten a poster.
Charlie Day, Clifton Collins Jr., Ron Perlman, Robert Kazinsky and Max Martini also star.
Pacific Rim opens in theaters on July 12.
Here’s the official 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.
