Idirs Elba fingers Rinko Kikuchi in new Pacific Rim photo

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

One flick that easily makes the most anticipated 2013 list (more on that tomorrow) is PACIFIC RIM, Guillermo del Toro’s epic monster mash. And while we’re still a good 7 or so months away from the flick invading theaters, Emileeid.com has just premiered a new photo from the flick. As you can see, the pimp that is Idris Elba is fingering Rinko Kikuchi. Lucky, lucky man!

With Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day and Ron Perlman also onboard – PACIFIC RIM opens up:

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, and 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. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

July 12th is the date.
