JOE jetted off to London recently for a Pacific Rim job of epic proportions with the cast of this summer’s biggest action blockbuster

We interviewed the director and stars of one of 2013’s biggest releases, the superdeedooper-looking, giant-monsters-beating-seven-shades-of-metallic crap-out-of-giant-robots action extravaganza, Pacific Rim.

We were more excited than your little sister at an access-ALL-areas One Direction concert as we caught up with genius director Guillermo del Toro, The Wire legend that is Idris Elba, as well as his co-stars Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi and the uniquely named Burn Gorman.

Check out our interview with the effortlessly cool Idris Elba, where we (unwisely) accuse of him of being a lightweight, find out what it was like to “cancel the Apocalypse,” and discover just how phat Stringer Bell really is.

“Phat” is how all the cool kids say “cool.”

In 1994. True dat.

Pacific Rim is in cinemas now
