Guillermo del Toro has released a new behind the scenes featurette called "Deep Space" for his epic looking new film Pacific Rim. The video is introduced by the director, and it features the cast and crew talking about the film while showing off some cool footage from it, some of which is new! They discuss in detail the mind melding aspect of the film, how human minds connect so that they can control the Jaeger robot as one. It's really interesting stuff, check it out!
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 and an untested trainee — 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.
