Technically not horror but whatever, this involves hotness and one of my favorites Guillermo Del Toro. Slashfilm reports Idris Elba (The Losers, RocknRolla, Thor) has signed on to co-star in Del Toro’s (Pan’s Labyrinth, ) upcoming film Pacific Rim . The film is about an alien attack that threatens the Earth’s existence. Giant robots piloted by humans are deployed to fight off the menace. Pacific Rim is scheduled for release in 2013.
Is the alien battle about to become the new vampires craze? Think about it -Battle Los Angeles, Skyline come to mind. Just saying. But, I’m sure this one will be beautiful beccause Del Toro films usually are.
