Odd City Reveals the Next Artist in its Limited Edition Pacific Rim Print Series Odd City Entertainment is excited to announce the next artist in its limited edition print series for Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ Pacific Rim is Graham Erwin. Read on for more details and to see Erwin’s artwork for the film.

From the Press Release:
Inspired by Oscar® nominated director Guillermo del Toro’s EPIC new movie, Pacific Rim, the artist worked closely with Odd City, the studios, and del Toro to capture the spirit of the film in 12” x 36” screen printed format.

Erwin, a well known artist, detailed his vision for his print, “When first approached by Odd City to work on a poster for Pacific Rim, I immediately dove into watching all the trailers available to get a sense of what I found personally exciting about the film. The thing that struck me was how the Jaegers seemed truly massive, towering, and powerful. Each robot was designed with very strong silhouettes and such high levels of detail that I knew they would work well as a focal point with my illustration style. After some talk with Odd City’s CEO, Roman, we decided to go with the 12″ x 36″ format and custom lettering to hopefully put a unique spin on what is already a great property.”

Synopsis
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.

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 (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)–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.
