Meanwhile, the man who was originally going to direct "The Hobbit" movies, Guillermo Del Toro, will be unveiling something quite different with the big sci-fi flick "Pacific Rim." So far all we've had from the movie is literally two stills, but we'd wager Comic-Con will be the start of a big push for the movie that features no A-list names (Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Rob Kazinsky, Max Martini, Clifton Collins Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff) in a tentpole-sized movie not based on a comic, brand or toy. The poster seems to give a close-up look of the robot our heroes will piloting to defeat the monsters that attack Earth. What else will Del Toro be bringing with him? You'll just have to wait until next weekend. "Pacific Rim" opens on July 12th. [Cinema Blend]

"The poster seems to give a close-up look at the full suits the characters will be wearing"??? You're kidding right? That's one huge-ass robot that the characters will be piloting. You can see the, all tiny, standing in its shoulder.
