Meet the cast of 'Pacific Rim'
It was essential to the filmmakers of Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' new action-adventure “Pacific Rim” that the magnitude of the action be balanced with the human stories that are at the heart of the film.

The gallery of memorable human characters in “Pacific Rim” are played by Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Rob Kazinsky, Charlie Day, Bum Gorman and Ron Perlman.
Charlie Hunnam, who stars as Raleigh Becket, one of the brave Jaeger pilots who leads the assault against invading monster aliens called Kaiju, says, “The characters in the film are at the eleventh hour, and the only way they can overcome this colossal danger is by coming together and forgetting all their petty differences, be it nations or creeds or backgrounds, and I think that message will resonate with audiences.”

Behind the lines, there is another duo who are taking a more scientific approach to fighting the Kaiju by trying to stop the invasion at its source. But it might help if they could first stop fighting with each other.

“But he’s not,” counters Burn Gorman, who plays Herman Gottlieb. “Newt thinks the solution is biological, but Herman believes the answer is in his mathematical calculations. There’s a lot of friction between them because they are both searching for a solution to the same problem, but their methods are entirely at odds and both of them think they are always right all of the time. And the clock is ticking.”
While the rest of humanity wants desperately to annihilate the Kaiju, one man has turned the invasion into his own cottage industry. Ron Perlman portrays Hannibal Chau, who has profited handsomely from selling Kaiju parts on the black market and has no intention of helping the Resistance kill his cash cow. “Hannibal loves his creature comforts,” Perlman continues. “He’s a pure hedonist; he likes to be surrounded by rare, exotic things and has allegiance to no one and nothing except his own insatiable appetites. It was a delicious role to play because he is utterly ruthless and unpredictable.”
Opening across the Philippines on July 11 in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D, 2D and regular theaters, “Pacific Rim” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
