If you enjoyed the first Pacific Rim film and are patiently waiting for the sequel to arrive in the form of Pacific Rim Uprising, you are sure to enjoy this new teaser trailer, published this week by Universal Pictures to whet your appetite ahead of the film’s premiere taking place in a few weeks time on March 23rd, 2018.
Within Pacific Rim Uprising, John Boyega from Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Attack The Block, stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, “a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld”. Pacific Rim Uprising is directed by Steven S. DeKnight and also stars Scott Eastwood, Cailee Spaeny, Jing Tian, Burn Gorman, Adria Arjona and Charlie Day.
“When an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction. Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.“
