Remember when a viral footage is released a couple of months ago?  Warner bros. revealed that Manila will make a cameo in the film.  But with the latest trailer released, it looks like Manila could be part of something bigger in the film's plot and we may see some Manila footage.  Watch the trailer after the jump.

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. 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.

takbo mga tita!!!

Ok for the sake of those who can't view the video, the second Kaiju incident is in Manila. This is during those time that the Jaeger program is still not in commission. It is possible that we will see Manila in the movie being destroyed by the giant monsters. Now in what matter, I don't know. Probably most footage will be on a news format or just on some quick video snippets or flashbacks.

as if that TV frame don't look 3rd world enough

I know they didn't really shoot anything in Manila and probably they just digitized the whole scenes but still I'm quite excited to see how accurate will they portray Manila.

On the other note, this trailer is so action packed that I'm worried that they are showing too much and won't leave anything for the final movie. I can say that I can consider this as the final trailer. I'm already convinced Warner Bros.


Opening across the Philippines in July 11 in 3D, 2D and regular theaters, “Pacific Rim” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
