Guillermo del Toro Reviews, Interviews & More
2013 is looking to be a pretty epic summer of entertainment, and there's delights virtually every week. But one of our most anticipated films of the summer is Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. The latest trailer makes its case and then some, as it features great robot money shots followed by more awesome robot vs. monster fighting.
Some directors when given a mega-budget seem to make films that grow increasingly incomprehensible and ridiculous; others (like, say, Shane Black with Iron Man 3, Sam Mendes with Skyfall, or Christopher Nolan with The Dark Knight and Inception), can work wonders within the blockbuster wheelhouse. And the WonderCon trailer for the upcoming...
Now we know that you've been gushing about how crazy great the trailers were from yesterday's Super Bowl, but there's one movie from that pile of trailers that wasn't there. Even though Pacific Rim may not have been present in the commercials, it still resides in our fanboy/fangirl hearts as one of the most anticipated movies of this coming summer.
Most January movies are less exciting than a new episode of Two and a Half Men. It's usually the month reserved for the cream of the crap. But Guillermo Del Toro's Mama, which hits theaters tomorrow, defies the first month movie stereotypes. For one, it doesn't suck. It's a well-crafted horror film, mainly thanks to Jessica Chastain, who is brilliant and unique in everything...
Guillermo del Toro is a workaholic. If he's not directing a movie, he's serving as executive producer. And if he's not doing that then he's off writing a script for a super expensive sequel. The man is a machine, and yet he still finds time to discover new talent. Case in point: siblings Andres and Barbara Muschietti, who adapted Mama from a short...
On Monday, at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim (a.k.a., Jax Teller and Stringer Bell cancel the apocalypse by playing Dance Dance Revolution with some Robot Jox against Godzilla and his friends) got a slightly different trailer than the one we’ve seen before. While the overall structure and...
Well, fanboys, here’s another excellent director with a unique vision who you can scratch off the list of possible filmmakers who have the potential to right the course of the Star Wars franchise after the awful prequels: Guillermo Del Toro. The director of the upcoming Pacific Rim was offered the Big Chair, apparently, and he turned it down. Find out why after the jump.
Well, it’s finally here—the first trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, a.k.a., “that one movie where the giant aliens crawl out of an underground dimensional portal so that one guy from Sons of Anarchy gets into a giant robot and fights them.” It’s an interesting trailer—a lot of the action here looks like what Michael Bay must see in...
The biggest risk New Line took with making the Lord of the Rings films was being committed to three movies. If the first film didn't work and no one liked it, what could be done? Well, that's a question they may be asking themselves with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as the first film doesn't work. Luckily for them they have the cushion...
Guillermo del Toro has already lined up his next feature even though his next film, Pacific Rim, isn't due out until July 13, 2013. It's called Crimson Peak, and the plan is to start shooting at the beginning of 2014. That's a long ways away, but new del Toro is definitely something to get excited about.
While many have been on the fence with some of the more recent works of visually enticing filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, he knows how to handle his monsters. All you have to do is look at movies like Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth as examples. Now he's looking to make his mark on the disaster monster sub genre with Pacific Rim. Did we mention that the blueprints...
If there’s one modern director who could pull off a film about gigantic, Godzilla-sized monsters attacking humanity, and the giant robots (called Jaegers) that human beings then pilot to fight back, it’s Guillermo del Toro. And while we have to wait until July 12, 2013 to see the film, called Pacific Rim, or at least until next month for a trailer to be attached to The...
Last week, we reported that Guillermo del Toro was pushing to make his own unique take on the superhero team-up film, one specifically tailored to his aesthetic of horror-fantasy-sci-fi, which would feature such DC Comics oddities as Swamp Thing, Deadman, Phantom Stranger, and John Constantine. It would be a kind of ‘Justice League of Monsters’ film, if you like; but at the time it was...
It seems everyone wants to get in on the superhero team-up genre, now that The Avengers made such a film genre an insanely lucrative project. While Marvel is setting up The Avengers 2, and Warner Bros. is hard at work putting together a Justice League film that will feature Superman, Batman and more, Guillermo del Toro is apparently pushing for his own brand of...
Some good news for Guillermo del Toro, whose latest film, Pacific Rim, is being converted to 3D without his consent—the filmmaker’s trilogy of vampire novels (written with Chuck Hogan), is now being converted into a TV series.
You’ve got to feel bad for Guillermo del Toro. It just hasn’t been the director’s year—after having to shelf his long-awaiting At The Mountains of Madness because it shared too many similarities with Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, del Toro’s upcoming flick, Pacific Rim, is getting post-converted into 3D by Warner Bros. against the...
Chris Hardwick moderated the two-and-a-half hour Warner Bros/Legendary Films mega-panel at Comic-Con, which kicked off with Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim, a science-fiction film about giant robots who fight to save humanity from an onslaught of 25-story-tall monsters. The panel was a special treat for those in Hall H because del...
Comic-Con favorite Guillermo del Toro returned to San Diego for his latest film, Pacific Rim. Described as a giant robot vs. monsters movie, the film stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day and Idris Elba. At Pacific Rim's official press...
How does this sound for a killer two hours in a movie theater: in a cinematic tribute to the Toho Studios Godzilla and giant monster films, Pacific Rim features gargantuan killer beasts begin rising from the Pacific Ocean in the future. Humanity’s only hope? A series of gigantic robots that must be telepathically controlled by two pilots at a time. Oh, and Guillermo del Toro...
After 2008’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army, director Guillermo Del Toro's next project was set to be the ambitious cinematic adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness, a 1936 novella about human scientists discovering evidence of ancient alien civilizations visiting Earth. Unfortunately, Universal cancelled the project,...
