Charlie Day in Talks to Join Guillermo del Toro's PACIFIC RIM

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Charlie Day is currently in talks to join the cast of Guillermo del Toro's next film Pacific Rim, which is set up over at Legendary Pictures. He joins Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnan in the film that deals with an epic alien invasion. The movie actually sounds like it's going to be a pretty awesome movie. If cast Day would play a professor. He is a pretty funny guy, so maybe he will end up being the comic relief in the story.

Here are a few previously released details on the film, to read the full description click here. I'm just excited that Del Toro is directing again!

The first is an alternate version of Earth in the near future, decades after a historic date in November 2012 when the first kaiju, a towering Godzilla-like beast, emerged from a hole in the Pacific Ocean and attacked the city of Osaka, Japan.  The second is “The Anteverse,” another universe on the other side of that gaping portal, 5 miles below our ocean’s surface.

Since the first attack, the rim has been “spitting out” a variety of gigantic monsters at an increasing rate, which then stride out of the ocean and begin destroying sea-bordering cities, like Tokyo and Los Angeles.  In order to combat these monstrous, otherworldly menaces, the military developed the “Jaeger” program, which trains teams of two pilots to jointly operate massive, building-sized mechanized suits of armor and high-tech weaponry.

The script for the film was written by Travis Beacham and production is expected to start this fall. Day can be seen next in the new comedy Horrible Bosses.
