I happened to luck out and stumble upon the Pacific Rim panel at this year's Comic Con (NY). We were shown a trailer there very similar to this one, expect there was a bit more of the damaged robot in the snow (that was the opening actually). Del Toro was on hand and sounded very reassuring with regards to the 3-D. Something along the lines of, "Don't worry guys...this won't be shit 3-D like in Clash of the Titans. I personally go to where the conversion is being done and make sure everything looks up to my expectations. We pushed back the release date to take our time and not just rush the 3-D." He went on to talk about his love of kaiju movies and such, which I'm an enormous fan of. I wanted to invite him out for a beer, I totally have a man-crush on that chubby mexican. He really sounded passionate. I know it may sound corny to suggest that, but he did. At least to me. He talked at length about the designs of the monsters, how each one was designed with the idea that it could be a guy in a suit. That's so much of the charm to these kind of films, IMO.
Rockets in elbows to punch fast and hard. I'll bite. The creatures being from a different dimension? Fuck it, let's roll with that and see how it turns out.
I'm sooooo excited for this. I hope it turns out as Del Toro was describing it.
To any Sons of Anarchy fans: Didn't the narration in the beginning of the trailer sound like Jax was writing all this down in his journal? "Tig fucked a tranny, Tara is in jail, oh, and giant monsters are attacking Earth."
