PACIFIC RIM’s Cherno Alpha & Crimson Typhoon

NEW PACIFIC RIM POSTERS!

UPDATE: Now includes posters for Australian Jaeger Striker Eureka and USA Jaeger Gipsy Danger

Marketing for Guillermo del Toro‘s upcoming monsters vs. robots film Pacific Rim is amping up. Recently we got a poster for the Japanese Jaeger named Coyote Tango, and today we’re getting two more posters for Russian Jaeger Cherno Alpha (above) and Chinese Jaeger Crimson Typhoon.

Check out the Crimson Typhoon poster after the jump!

Pacific Rim is the newest effort from fan-favorite Guillermo del Toro. The film focuses on the struggle between humanity and giant monsters that have come from a crevice in the pacific ocean called Kaiju. Giant Avatar-style robots called Jaegers, which are piloted two humans via remote neural connection, are created and used as humanity’s best and only defense.

It sounds like an anime brought to life. That said, everything we’ve seen so far for Pacific Rim has been impressive in scope, and each new piece of the puzzle is helping solidify how cool we can expect the film to be.

We haven’t gotten a good look at any of the Kaiju yet, but we’ve gotten some looks at additional Jaegers by way of posters.

An official synopsis for Pacific Rim states:

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.

 

Pacific Rim opens this summer on July 12th and also stars  Ron Perlman, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Clifton Collins Jr., Robert Maillet, and Burn Gorman.
