New Clip from PACIFIC RIM Featuring a Hardcore Idris Elba
Here's an intense new clip from Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. It features Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost telling Charlie Hunnam as Raleigh Becket how it is, and lets him know what he expects from him. There's no big robot or monster action, but it's still a great little scene.
The movie comes out on July 12th, and this very well could end up being the best movie of the summer for me.
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.
