Blood's Katsuya Terada Draws Pacific Rim Poster

posted on by Karen Ressler
Hollywood film to open in Japan on August 9

Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro asked Blood: The Last Vampire illustrator Katsuya Terada to draw an official Japanese poster for the film, which opens in Japan on August 9. Del Toro is a fan of Terada's work, and Terada likewise called Pacific Rim a "masterpiece."

Yoji Shinkawa of Metal Gear fame also drew a Pacific Rim poster at del Toro's request.

Warner Brothers hired many familiar names for the Japanese dub cast of the film:

The Pacific Rim film is about a futuristic war between humans and beasts called “Kaiju” (Japanese for monster) that rose from a portal in the Pacific Ocean and have killed millions of lives. The humans then create robots called Jaegers (German for hunter) as a counter-measure to the threat. The film opened in American theaters on July 12.
