Oh my stars and garters - I think I'm in love

Pacific Rim Wondercon Trailer.

If you can form a coherent sentence after watching that, congratulations! I simply flailed gleefully. Worldbuilding! History! Connection through Memory! Honking Great Big Robots! Idris Elba in dress blues! GIMME!!

I freely admit that I was jonesying for this film the moment it was announced that Guillermo Del Toro's next project was going to involve giant robots fighting monsters. Okay, the more 'highbrow' cinema going audience may sniff at such things but this cinenerd? Flailed like a loon at the first trailer.

I am fully aware that it could still fall to pieces, just like his take on the The Hobbit did but I am quietly hopeful that this is going to be everything I've hoped for and a bag of crisps.

So in conclusion - Is It July yet?!
