MovieHole has scanned an image from the Total Film's new article about Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. Which is featured in the latest issue of their magazine.



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 (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.



Pacific Rim is scheduled for release on July 12, 2013. The cast includes Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins Jr. and Diego Klattenhoff.

I believe it's originally from Total Film magazine.

Can't wait for this movie. The armour looks very much like the N7 armour from Mass Effect.

Cross between Iron Man armor and an Accelerator Suit? Not bad, I'll go with it.

In Guillermo I trust.

While I think that suit looks kind of bad, I still have the utmost faith in del Toro.

..still wish we were getting a Lovecraft movie though.

No, I won't let it go FFS.

"Wish Idris could be Black Panther"

Umm...he's already playing Heimdall, which is in the same Marvel universe as Black Panther. It might be a little confusing for Thor when he visits Midgard to see Heimdall is Black Panther and vice-versa. :-P Plus he's too old to play T'Challa.

@Skerringer I agree. His armor looks straight out of Mass Effect. On that note, he could probably play a younger Admiral Anderson (in flashbacks) if someone was crazy enough to produce a movie.

Elba would rock th part of Panther I think. Personally I always wanted Djimon Honsou but he's getting a bit too old, but Elba would fit the part I think. Though i have other choices as well.
