"We start shooting next Monday on 'Pacific Rim',"
says del Toro, "which is a gigantic production for Legendary Pictures and
Warner Bros. We are wrapping production on a smaller, very powerful horror film
called Mama, which I am producing. Chuck and I are working on a series of books
that I can’t talk too much about. But we started on that about two weeks ago.
I’m still working on animation at DreamWorks. I’m keeping myself pretty
busy."
The director also spoke about the film's cast, confirming
that del Toro regular Ron Perlman has signed on.
"We are working with actors that I absolutely
adore," he continues. "Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Charlie Hunnam, Ron
Perlman. It's really, it's a very, very beautiful poem to giant monsters. Giant
monsters versus giant robots. Twenty-five-story-high robots beating the crap
out of 25-story-high monsters. We're trying to create a world in which the
characters are real and how it would affect our world politically, how it would
affect the landscape if creatures like this really came out of the sea,
etc."
