Well, the new trailers just keep on coming thick and fast... we've already had previews for a number of 2013's big theatrical offerings over the past few days (see Star Trek Into Darkness, Oblivion, After Earth, The Lone Ranger, Man of Steeland G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and now comes yet another, with Warner Bros. delivering the first trailer for director Guillermo del Toro's (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) big budget kaiju homage Pacific Rim, along with a brand new poster for the upcoming film. Check them out below...

"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; Sons of Anarchy) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi; The Brothers Bloom) -- 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 12th, 2013, with a cast that also includes Idris Elba (Prometheus), Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy).![]()
