A new CES trailer for Pacific Rim

Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) caused quite a stir last month with the release of the first trailer for his upcoming giant monsters vs. giant robots epic Pacific Rim, and now Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have debuted a new alternative trailer to coincide with the 2013 International Computer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Although similar to its predecessor, the CES trailer does include snippets of previously-unseen footage, mainly based around the film's Jaegers (they're the giant robots, if you're not already aware); check it out after the official 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 stars Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), Idris Elba (Prometheus), Rinko Kikuchi (The Brothers Bloom), Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and is due to hit cinemas on July 12th.
