Director Guillermo del Toro asks Blood: The Last Vampire illustrator Katsuya Terada to make his own rendition of the film poster for 2013's Hollywood tokusatsu film “PACIFIC RIM”. The director previously asked Metal Gear Solid's Yoji Shinkawa for the film's RealD 3D film poster.
Terada praises Pacific Rim as a "masterpiece". The film's Japanese voice cast can be found here.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge.
To premiere on August 9th in Japan, Pacific Rim is Guillermo Del Torro's homage to the Japanese monsters, or kaiju films.

Man Japan got the better looking posters xD but this is to be expected I guess. I really hope that Pacific Rim does well over there so we can get more of these type of movies here in the states
Im surprise Pacific Rim was beaten on world release by DM2 & grown ups 2 ? I DONT WANT TO LIVE IN A LAME AS UNIVERSE
Despicable Me 2 I can understand because it's a kids movie (aaaand it was a damn good one) but Grown Ups 2 beating it makes me incredibly dissapointed.
