Three Different Featurettes for Pacific Rim


Warner Bros. released three different featurettes for Pacific Rim, giving a behind-the-scenes look at one of the biggest films of the year. The featurettes show more of the story and the practical effects of the film, and the dynamic and huge sets that were built for the film.

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 and an untested trainee 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 directed by Academy Award nominated director Guillermo Del Toro, director of the Hellboymovies and Pan's Labyrinth. The film is the visionary director's first film since 2008. The film stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi. United Motion Pictures, the biggest film distributor in the Arab world and the sole distributor of Warner Bros. films in Egypt, will release the film in Egypt this year.
