New Video Reveals the Fake Tokyo Set of Pacific Rim

Cant believe we have to wait more than a year for this :cries: I just want to see how the mechas look and how big they are and where they are controlled and what weapons they have and and t:

Cool, I didn't even know they released a poster for it.

Very nice. That is how you do a teaser poster.

The poster was done way before del Toro was attached to the film (and they put his name on it after he signed on). But yeah, it's a really nice effort.

Plot synopsis has arrived:

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.

I say damn I say t:

So basically a live action anime. I assume unless Del Toro has some kinda plot twist, those two will be the romantic leads.

 

[Octoberist]

Damn!

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I love that they call them Kaiju in the movie, that's gonna make me smile every time I hear it while watching.

The word Jaeger (which I love) also gives that anime-feeling, and that it's about "an old legendary but obsolete jaeger" just screams of it

 

[Octoberist]

I hope that the Japanese girl has blue hair!

 

[obin_gam]

^ haha it would be the icing on the cake indeed!

 

[Kane52630]

So the Kaiju in this film is called....Kaiju?

Either way it sounds fantastic.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

well there's multiple kaiju. a whole army of them just starts rising up out of the sea apparently. so it's probably just a term applied to all of them, though I'm sure there will be names for specific kaiju.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Sounds ****ing awesome. I really want to see footage now.

 

[MadVillainy]

awesome. F***ing awesome.
