Charlie Hunnam

As the trailer for Pacific Rim points out, most people generally assume that if aliens were to come to Earth, they'd probably come from space, right? Wrong. Guillermo del Toro's upcoming sci-fi film rests on the premise that these destruction-seeking beings come from a portal deep in the ocean. This is pretty bad news for Earth; good thing we've got Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) and Idris Elba on the case! The two star as members of a special ops team carrying out Operation Gypsy Danger, aka Operation Kill Those Aliens. These are not your mother's aliens, either. These are giant beastly monster aliens.

Del Toro's known for his unique visual approach to filmmaking, and if this trailer is any indication of the movie, Pacific Rim is going to be epic. It's tense, there are giant Iron Man-esque suits and humongous monsters, and yet it feels oddly realistic. There's something about seeing monsters destroy actual landmarks (in this case, the Golden Gate Bridge) that sends shivers down my spine. Pacific Rim is set to open July 12, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

Once you get past the bizarre title, there's actually a lot to like about the trailer for 3, 2, 1. . . Frankie Go Boom trailer. First, there's Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam looking adorable as ever as Frank. Frank's an average dude with an obnoxious older brother (Chris O'Dowd) whose just gotten sober and wants to make movies. Instead of getting serious about his craft, he secretly makes a sex tape of Frank and sells it to a Hollywood bigwig (Chris Noth). Unfortunately, the female star of the sex tape (Lizzy Caplan) is the daughter of said bigwig. Thus begins an adventure to intercept the DVD, which includes a pig and a transvestite (among other things).

I love that Bridesmaids star O'Dowd is starting to pop up everywhere now, and his rapport with Hunnam is enough to make me want to see more of this movie. Plus, the supporting cast includes funny people Whitney Cummings and Adam Pally (Happy Endings), who we don't see on the big screen nearly enough. Watch the trailer when you read more
