Hint: it's pretty fantastic. We also get to see the neural bridge in action, whic

Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' looks like the fevered dreams of a kid who stayed up too late watching Japanese movies and cartoons, and we mean that as a compliment. The film is set to open in a little over two weeks, and now there's a new trailer that plays up the stakes.

Movie fans really don't need any extra incentive to go see 'Pacific Rim' in IMAX. After all, if you're going to see a movie about gigantic robots fighting gigantic monsters, you might as well go see it on the most gigantic screen imaginable. However, there is now another reason to see director Guillermo del Toro's epic, sci-fi actioner on a grand scale: attendees of the first IMAX screenings will

A director like Guillermo del Toro knows the best way to sell CGI is to mesh it with as much practical work as possible. In the latest featurette on the making of 'Pacific Rim,' del Toro talks about how he approached the special effects for his giant monster

Though the advertising for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' has mostly focused on the epic battles between monsters and giant robots (which are called Jaegers), we're curious if there is more going on in the movie that just large scale smackdowns. The latest featurette allays our fears by playing up the "neural handshake" that happens between the Jaegers co-pilots.

"F--- yeah!" That was Guillermo del Toro's response when Legendary Entertainment CEO Thomas Tull asked him if he could come up with another great idea for 'Pacific Rim 2.' The first one hasn't even hit theaters yet (is set for a July 12 release) but the decision was made a while back to start work early on a follow-up, and now the first kernels of a story have dropped from del Toro himse

When giant monsters rise up from the sea and attack civilization, humanity responds with an army of giant robots.

Just when you thought the poster train for 'Pacific Rim' was over or that Guillermo del Toro's latest couldn't look any better, here comes what Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures call a "super banner" -- and it's exactly what it sounds like.

Get ready, folks, 'cause that crazy-awesome 'Pacific Rim' trailer that debuted during WonderCon has been released online for all to see, and the footage is exactly what it says, "2,500 tons of awesome!"

In addition to its announcement of the August 11 premiere of 'Breaking Bad's final episodes, and the development of a companion talk show 'Talking Bad,' AMC's Upfront presentation today offered up a wealth of exciting new series in development. Most promising is a futuristic sci-fi thriller from 'Pacific Rim' writer Travis Beacham and 'Oblivion' director Joseph Kosinski titled 'Ballistic City,' sa

Currently, the big Consumer Electronics Show (or CES) is taking place, and we've been hearing some interesting stories coming out of it, but the coolest thing so far is this new trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim.' Though it features the same narrative and much of the footage from the last trailer, what's new is even more monster and robot mayhem.

You'll be forgiven if you're still reeling from last night's trailer debut of 'Pacific Rim,' which we think we can objectively say looks utterly fantastic.
