Has The Pacific Rim Story Details Been Revealed?

Plot details for 'Pacific Rim' which will now be directed by Guillermo Del Toro, have been released and according to News In Film,  the film is set in two separate worlds.

The first is a future version of Earth where, in November 2012, a giant monster emerged from the Pacific Ocean and attacked Osaka, Japan. The other world is The Anteverse, where the monster came from. A portal to this world is located five miles under the water. But while one giant monster is bad enough, the truly horrific thing is that the portal continues to spit out all different kinds of beasts that attack coastal cities.

In order to fight off and destroy these monsters, the military forms what is called the "Jaeger" program, where pilots are trained to operate giant mechanical suits made of "armor and high-tech weaponry." At the center of the story is a character named Raleigh Antrobus, one of the aforementioned pilots and is sent to Tokyo for his mission.

Sounds interesting and given the up and down roller coaster that has been Del Toro's directing vehicle's as of late, hopefully this one will be a success for the director, leading to more concrete opportunities. His previous works include "Mimic", "Blade II", "Hellboy" and "Pan's Labyrinth"

The movie is set for release sometime in 2013.
