(With plenty of new shots of massive destruction and fighting along the way.) Read More »

The recent Japanese trailer for Guillermo del Toro‘s monster-smashing summer movie Pacific Rim doesn’t have much in the way of new footage. In fact, it’s basically an edit of a trailer released to the US a while ago, with a few differences. If you want pure giant robot spectacle in trailer form, check out the recently released WonderCon footage. Or have a close look at the new banner above, which depicts a showdown in the water near Sydney, Australia.
But this edit is worth a look for the introduction from the director, who explains that he was hoping to honor a number of Japanese storytelling forms and media as he made the movie. Read More »

I want to perform an experiment. I want to walk into a movie theater with a friend who has no idea what Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim is. We’d stroll by the latest poster. I won’t say anything about the poster, I’ll just see if they notice it. Because they will. And the reaction will most likely be, “Oh wow, I want to see that movie right the f**k now.”
