Hey, yo, Bells: Pacific Rim

[Magus]

Sounds kind of up your alley.

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. "Pacific Rim" also stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Day

Sounds very Gundam/Evangelion to me. Clearly seems inspired by mecha anime at least in the most basic sense. I'm excited, especially since it's from Guillermo Del Toro. Still disappointed they shut down At The Mountains of Madness on him, but at least this sounds like an interesting alternative.

Here's that Comic-Con poster Bells was talking about below:

Pretty great interview with Del Toro about Pacific Rim:
