Warner Bros. is setting another date today as it’s getting things in place for the big budget action/disaster film from Guillermo del Toro with Pacific Rim now set for July 12th, 2013. The feature has very little set about it at this point that’s publicly known, and it’s interesting that this is intended to be a big summer film and one that will push other movies around as it’s the first one to lay claim to that particular date. The feature originally started getting attention earlier this year but there were concerns about how to approach it after the disaster in Japan with the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plant issues, but with it being a few years off and a bit of creative writing, it should be a relative non issue and could even be tied into it in an appropriate way. At this stage, no full concept is available for it other than it involving giant monsters, the pacific and mayhem galore, and that it will star Charlie Hunnam and Idris Elba as the pilots of giant robots fighting off aliens.
Is it July 12th, 2013 yet?
