The Pilots From 'Pacific Rim' Are Suited And Ready To Board The Jaegers

Monster movies to me have always been the shit! Godzilla, Mighty Joe Young, King Kong, Starship Troppers and Tremors (just to name a few) are some of my favorite films, which is undoubtedly the reason why I can not wait for Guillermo del Toro's upcoming monster flick, Pacific Rim to hit theaters. This movie is going to be epic, No Ifs Ands or Buts about it. Check out a brand new image, which comes to us courtesy of USA Today, giving us our first look at the brave pilots who will board these 25-story-tall beasts.

In the film, "Legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, begin ring from the sea, resulting in a war that would take millions of lives and ultimately consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: masve robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled multaneously 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 slated to hit theaters on July 12, 2013. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff star
