‘Pacific Rim’ WonderCon Trailer Released By Warner Bros. [Video]
The Pacific Rim trailer that was designed as WonderCon and CinemaCon exclusives have been released by the folks at Warner Bros.
As the release date for Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi action flick draws near, fans having been clamoring for even more footage. Since Warner Bros. wants to get as many people in theaters this summer as possible, the studio has decided to release the official WonderCon trailer online.
Del Toro previously stated that the clip you see embedded below would only screen at WonderCon and CinemaCon. However, it would appear that both the director and the studio aren’t above giving in to the demands of their potential fans.
In addition to giving folks a closer look at cast members Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, and Ron Perlman, the latest Pacific Rim clip also showcases some particularly incredible footage featuring robots and monsters beating the stuffing out of one another.
One moment in particular finds one of the giant robots wielding what appears to be a battleship as it squares off against one of the monsters. The boat is dragged through the streets before being used as a club.
Once again, here’s the film’s 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 and an untested trainee — 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.”
Warner Bros. and Guillermo del Toro are hoping that tons of people show up to see Pacific Rim when it hits theaters on July 12. Are you planning to catch the movie in theaters?
