From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures? and Legendary Pictures? epic sci-fi action adventure ?Pacific Rim.?

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.

Oscar? nominee Guillermo del Toro (?Pan?s Labyrinth?) is directing ?Pacific Rim? from a script by Travis Beacham (?Clash of the Titans?). Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.

The film stars Charlie Hunnam (TV?s ?Sons of Anarchy?), Idris Elba (?Thor?), Rinko Kikuchi (?The Brothers Bloom?), Charlie Day (?Horrible Bosses?), and Ron Perlman (the ?Hellboy? films). The ensemble cast also includes Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke.

Del Toro?s behind-the-scenes team includes Academy Award?-winning director of photography Guillermo Navarro, production designer Andrew Neskoromny, editor Peter Amundson, and costume designer Kate Hawley.

Slated for release in Summer 2013, ?Pacific Rim? is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

SOLD. Dont need to read the rest not even the title of the movie. This guy's films are awsome.

I thought the same thing...until I read, "from a script by Travis Beacham (?Clash of the Titans?)". So much for a cool movie...

      Why was it necessary to use AI to help write this article? Can we no longer do our own research or our own writing?

      The auto industry really needs to update it's terminology so a software update isn't called a recall.

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.
