Well hello Coyote Tango. Japan has jumped into the fray with it’s Jaeger to help in stopping the apocalypse. This amazing new artwork for Guillermo Del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM debuted via the film’s twitter page. This is one giant robot! As my 15 year old put it – “AWESOME!” Stay tuned for more Jaegers from England, France, Canada, China.
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.
Starring Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, Burn Gorman and Rinko Kikuchi, PACIFIC RIM will be released nationwide on July 12, 2013.

As the UK prepared to go ‘into darkness’ for WWF’s Earth Hour Saturday evening, Paramount Pictures showed it’s support with a special ‘Star Trek’ themed light display which dimmed as Earth Hour approached. Get ready for some goosebumps Trek fans.
This amazing light show by Paramount, in conjunction with Ars Electronica Futurelab & Ascending Technologies, saw quadrocopters flying into the night sky, forming the Star Trek federation logo beside Tower Bridge on a scale never seen before. In keeping with Earth Hour’s initiative, the quadrocopters utilized batteries that were charged in Austria using green energy from the Austrian renewable energy grid specifically for this event.
The event coincided with WWF’s Earth Hour at 8:30 pm. Along with key landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and The London Eye going dark, the quadrocopters turned off their glow in support of Earth Hour.
To signal the end of Earth Hour at 9:30 pm the quadrocopters reformed the Star Trek logo above London’s skyline.
The logo formation hovered about 36m (118ft) above the ground at the lowest point and the highest point (the tip of the logo) was at approximately 130m (426ft) above ground. The total height of the logo was approximately 94meters (308ft).
The light show was captured from the main location at Old Billingsgate Walk, which gave a view of Tower Bridge and City Hall. Other vantage points for the public were the Tower of London and on location at Potters Field Park, Tooley Street , Southwark, London SE1 2AA.
Prior to the event, John Fletcher, Director of Marketing for Paramount Pictures UK said “We are very pleased to go ‘into darkness’ with the rest of the world in support of Earth Hour. It seems fitting to be associated with such a global cause.”
Kellie Rollings from WWF added “WWF is delighted that Paramount is supporting this year’s Earth Hour event. Millions of people around the world take part in Earth Hour year on year and we’re always looking for innovative ways to get our message out there. It’s fantastic that Paramount has chosen to mark the hour by dimming their lights at this unusual light display.”
