SDCC 2012: WARNER BROS UNLEASHED NEW POSTERS FOR THE HOBBIT AND PACIFIC RIM


Warner Bros. yesterday unleashed two posters for their tentpoles ahead of the San Diego Comic Con 2012 which is scheduled to begin this Thursday. You can view both posters right after the jump.


The first of which is this year's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Directed by Peter Jackson and planned for release on 14 December 2012, the exclusive Comic Con poster will be a treat for some of the attendees. That's according to Peter Jackson's FB status at here. Well, it is a nice poster with Gandalf strolling around Shire.


Next we have Peter's friend, Guillermo Del Toro's directed Pacific Rim which also has a poster debuted ahead of Comic Con. Here is the official plot synopsis provided by Latino Review:

"From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure “Pacific Rim.”

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.

Oscar® nominee Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth”) is directing “Pacific Rim” from a script by Travis Beacham (“Clash of the Titans”) and del Toro. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.

The film stars Charlie Hunnam (TV’s “Sons of Anarchy”), Idris Elba (“Thor”), Rinko Kikuchi (“The Brothers Bloom”), Charlie Day (“Horrible Bosses”), and Ron Perlman (the “Hellboy” films). The ensemble cast also includes Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke."

Pacific Rim will be released on July 12 next year.
