New PACIFIC RIM Trailer Means More Crazy Action

I'll make this short and sweet. The newest PACIFIC RIM trailer's focus seems to be hyping up what look to be astounding action sequences between the Jaegers and the Kaijus. The trailer comes courtesy of Warner Brother's YouTube channel via Badass Digest, check it out below.

PACIFIC RIM WonderCon Trailer is Full of Kaijus and Inspirational Speeches

To say that I want to see PACIFIC RIM yesterday is an understatement. Back in WonderCon, the attendees were treated to a special reel cut made specially for them. Now the footage has been released thanks to Warner Brothers, and director Guillermo Del Toro, who also sent this wonderful massage here: "This was originally intended for only WonderCon, but after listening to so many of you asking for more of the movie online, I think it's time for me to show you more footage. Enjoy, my friends." Check out the trailer below.

New Pacific Rim Trailer from CES has more Jaegers!

So this big techie show is going on right now, CES. I really don't care about most of that stuff they're showing off. The only thing I'm interested about is seeing more alternate footage of the original PACIFIC RIM trailer. This one focuses more on the Jaegers, the robots that the characters pilot. I'm glad to hear that the GLaDOS voice from Portal is still there! Maybe Apperture Science are the ones that built the robots! JK, JK, check out the trailer below.

PACIFIC RIM Trailer Looks Like a Badass Version of my Childhood

Seriously, this is the most anticipated movie of 2013 for me. Not only do we have director Guillermo Del Toro actually making a movie, but it's a freaking robits (robots) and kaiju (think Godzilla type monsters) fighting for the future of mankind. Watch the trailer, which comes courtesy of Apple via Badass Digest, below.

Take the First Look at Guillermo Del Toro's Rowbits for his New Movie, PACIFIC RIM!

Javi here. If you don't know, I'm a fan of robots. I'm also a fan of movies. I'm a bigger fan of robots in movies that are not directed by Michael Bay. With that being said, I am so excited for director Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming PACIFIC RIM. This was the project that was started after his previous movie, AT THE MOUNTAIN OF MADNESS, was cancelled. PACIFIC RIM, according to IMDB, is about "When an alien attack threatens the Earth's existence, giant robots piloted by humans are deployed to fight off the menace."

Now, with this poster coming to you thanks to Badass Digest, shows the exact scale of the robots. That is to say, they're freaking huge! This movie is looking to be the culmnation of a lot of good things finally coming together, an actual Guillermo Del Toro movie, guys getting into huge robots and then figting monsters in said huge robots. This is basically a serious look at all of those crazy Super Sentai shows from Japan that inspired the robot/monster parts of the Power Rangers series. Plus, it stars Idris Elba. So what do you guys think? I'm really interested to see how they work on the scale of these machines and the monsters. I want to be in awe of them and I really hope that the movie gets this across. Stay tuned here for more news on the movie as they come to us.

PACIFIC RIM is directed by Guillermo Del Toro, written by Travis Beacham and stars Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, and Charlie Day.
