This sweded ‘Pacific Rim’ trailer is dynamite

Cardboard robots are the best kind of robots. If Michel Gondry dies tomorrow, he’ll still go down in history for introducing the concept of “sweded” movies in Be Kind, Rewind. Hundreds of people have followed in his footsteps by creating low-budget remakes of all sorts of things, and this recent trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim might be one of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s a shot-for-shot remake of the last teaser for the film, carried out in endearingly cheapskate style. The real Pacific Rim opens on July 11th, but I might just wait for this guy to do his own version and get it on VHS. It’s that good.
