Two More ‘Pacific Rim’ Blueprints Illustrate the Guts of Guillermo del Toro’s Giant Robots
Viral marketing for the new film Pacific Rim just started. It is a Guillermo del Toro film that will be a homage to Japanese monsters and giant mechs. The story's pretty much about monsters rising from the Pacific Ocean and attacking the west coast. In order to fight these monsters, known as Kaiju (the Japanese term for "strange beast," also used to term monsters such as Godzilla), the government creates giant mechs, called Jaegers, homages to Japanese creations such as Gundam and Eureka 7. Each Jaeger is piloted by two people, one who controls the left hemisphere, one who controls the other. The two main characters of the story must settle their differences in order to pilot a legendary, but out-dated Jaeger.
I love this new western take on two of Japan's most popular media! I have faith that it will be a great success. Sure, you can watch monsters fighting mechs in Power Rangers, but honestly, those fighting sequences are terribad. I have faith that Pacific Rim will deliver in the action and CGI departments. What are your thoughts on this upcoming film?

The idea is pretty similar...she's a squid girl who emerged from the sea in order to subdue humanity...
