New Pacific Rim Poster Gives You a Shot of Jaeger

 Pacific Rim - Comic Con Poster - Top Slice

The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit have stiff competition for my disturbed, fanatical interest, as more and more information about Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim filters out.

The latest piece is this fantastic teaser poster for the film's San Diego Comic Con presentation. The one-sheet depicts a glimpse of a gigantic Jaeger, the piloted robots built to fight the dreaded Kaiju, giant monsters that threaten to exterminate humanity.

Stood comfortably on the giant robot's shoulder is Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) and who I believe to be Idris Elba (Prometheus).

This is a novel take on the "giant floating head" trend of movie posters because this head is literally giant. The movies human stars are practically specs in comparison. The marketing looks to be selling the spectacular hook over star power.

The Official Facebook page has also revealed a banner for the movie.
