New PACIFIC RIM Still; Name Of The "First Kaiju" Revealed

The official Pacific Rim Facebook page has posted a new still of the corpse of a Kaiju. It's an image we've already seen in the first trailer for the movie, but here we learn that the creature was the first to appear, and he has a name!..

The Facebook page posted the above pic along with the following:

"The infamous first Kaiju, Trespasser, slaughtered hundreds of thousands."


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 will be released on July 12, 2013.

What an uninspired pick for a name. However, I suspect once the action begins, we won't care about names.

Please excuse my ignorance, but how in the hell do you pronounce "Kaiju"? Is it "Kay-Jew"? :)

What's wrong with the name? Would you prefer Henry the rampaging monster?

Its not like the kaijus mom filled out paperwork at the hospital for his name...Stop complaining this is probably what the soldiers called him, so it stuck

HipsterAngelusNY - 3/22/2013, 11:44 AM
They should call him Steven

Trespasser is fine. Hell its not like it really matters what they call him.

Something like Sharkzilla would have been corny.

@fettastic that's why it's a science fiction movie moron, the movie's got giant robots and monsters and you're moaning about it being impossible for that the monster to be hauled on to the carrier

It's not impossible. I used to bullseye Gojira's in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two hundred metres...

I like the name Tresspasser better than some stereotypical Asian name that doesn't mean shit.

How can they expect Godzilla to not only deal with these giant alien butt raping pirates... but also film his next big adventure? :D

"Gentlemen, the President has ordered Trespasser be terminated, and the remains of the dead alien disposed of. The Laurentian Abyss is seven miles below sea level, deepest place on our planet. The massive depth and pressure there, coupled with subfreezing temperatures, would crush and entomb it...leaving no evidence."
