Idris Elba is Canceling the Apocalypse in First Trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’

It’s been a very good couple of weeks for trailers, with ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Star Trek’ both dropping their teasers on an eager internet this December, and now the trailer for another highly anticipated sci-fi, Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, has debuted. It might look a little bit like ‘Transformers’ done by the SyFy Channel here, but Hollywood has so much faith in the film that a sequel has already been greenlit. That kind of confidence is reassuring, as is Del Toro’s name.

Starring Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuichi and Charlie Day, ‘Pacific Rim’ will open in cinemas on July 11, 2013.
