Here’s are some of the first details on director Guillermo del Toro‘s next film Pacific Rim!
Del Toro reiterated that core concept a couple times: “Giant f—ing monsters against giant f—ing robots.” Also involved is the idea of having “incredibly huge things destroy little things.”
But there’s a human angle to it, too, “the part we can’t divulge that Travis came up with, that made it click [for Guillermo].” And Legendary seems committed to making that part work, too , which lead the director to announce “I’m barren, otherwise I would bear Legendary’s child.” He praised the company for letting him find “the perfect f—ing actors for the role. To make a movie with this size and this scope and be able to cast with the greatest f—ing actors is a dream come true.”
“There’s much more to it than the giant monsters and giant robots,” he said. “We want to make it a big what if: what would happen in the real world if a twenty-five story thing came out of the sea and started destroying cities? How would the world change? What weapons do we need to develop to fight a thing like that? It’s not a fantastic distant future to which we have no relationship. We wanted to make it in the now.”
He elaborated just a bit. “Everything as geeks and fans we ask ourselves about giant monsters and kaiju I wanted to answer in the movie. We created a whole world around that one giant variable. This will not be a movie that has only spectacle and scope.”
This is sure to be a massive film, Del Toro is the perfect choice for this project. Del Toro is masterful with creatures, the giants factor will take his work to a whole new level. His colorful language definitely highlights his passion for the project, and I’m sure we’ll get a great product come summer 2013.
