Pacific Rim

Do you know how beautiful that would be? I'm excited just thinking about it.

It would definitely be sweet.

WB debuting the trailers for that many of their movies before TDKR will be crazy. It would be kinda weird to see the WB logo three times in a row, and then once more for the movie itself.

For starters they probably wouldn't be in a row and there's more than three trailers/teasers that play before a movie.

For TDK they had trailers for Watchmen, Body of Lies, & Terminator Salvation so it has been done before.

Totally forgot TDK, so I guess it is very possible.

yeah I feel that the mechs having 2 pilots works better from a character stand point, you have two people who have to work in perfect synchronization, you don't just hop in the cock pit and do that, it's something the two people have to work up to, develop a relationship, a connection. It just makes for more complex storytelling and characterization. I really look forward to seeing this play out.

Like Maverick and Goose.

Works for me.

That suit looks nice! I need more!!!!

 

[Octoberist]

I hope the helmets have visors over the eyes so it looks like Gatchaman aka Battle of the Planets and Voltron.

 

[Liam_H]

Looking more and more likely we'll get a teaser pretty soon, with TDKR hopefully.

 

[batman44]

Really Nice, he almost looks like my custom Commander Shepard.

 

[Octoberist]

I hope he keeps his British accent.

 

[Liam_H]

Or talk like Heimdall.

 

[Octoberist]

His Heimdall voice is amazing.

Elba is so damn awesome.

The suits are quite good looking. Now lets hope that the mechs are beautifully amazing.

I've actually been watching Gundam Wing and boy would I like something along those lines.

More Mobile Suit like and less film Transformer design wise. That's not to say I don't like the TF designs it's just that the mobile suits are beyond incredible.

Spoiler

Based on the similarities of the story with Neon Genesis Evangelion though I wouldn't be surprised if Guillermo Del Toro went closer to that route than either Gundam or Transformers.

 

[Octoberist]

Now it's silly to have swords with mech robots but inherently it's cool looking thanks to anime. However, I can see del Toro taking a page from (I know..but here me out) Michael Bay's Transformers. Not in design, since I hate the busy designs of the Bayformers, but I like how Prime can pop out blades out from his arms.

I think that can work.

 

[Liam_H]

Well its a practical design for a weapon since a hand held weapon that's separate can easily be knocked away. Depends how functional the mechs are.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Cool pic, the armour looks sweet. I hope we get to see images of Hunnam and Kikuchi soon.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The suit looks good. Now bring on the mechs! t:

 

[Mister Sinister]

Looks amazing, swap Elba's head with Joel Kinnaman's and you could fake a RoboCop pic.

 

[chamber-music]

I like it although it does remind me a little of the GI: Joe Rise Of Cobra costumes.

 

[kvz5]

Elba! I just need to see the mechs and be satisfied with it and this would easily be my most anticipated for 2013.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I love it!

Just guess, but considering how Evangelion-esque it sounds from the description, and the fact that the two main pilots pilot an older Jaegar (like a Gundam), I'm guessing the designs of the mechs would be somewhat of a cross between a Gundam and an Eva Unit.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, that's tight, but I'm waiting to see Rinko in the suit. Delicious.

 

[Dr Lee]

okay..... this sounds interesting.....
