Two New TV Spots & Toy Merchandise Image Come Crushing In For ‘Pacific Rim’

Two new impressive television spots have surfaced for acclaimed visionary director Guillermo del Toro’s Japanese-inspired monster (s)mash-up PACIFIC RIM. The simple premise is becoming one of this summers most anticipated blockbusters with word Legendary Pictures are so impressed with the film they have already tasked del Toro and co-writer Travis Beacham with drafting a sequel. We’ve also include a peek at the collectable toy range released to coincide with the films unleashing on 12th July!

The official plot goes as follows:

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.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
