Guillermo del Toro Filming Giant Robot Warehouse
In an interview with io9, director Guillermo del Toro revealed a pretty sweet little tid-bit about his now filming Pacific Rim, which will pit giant robots against massive monsters.
“We’re at the end of our second week. We are shooting everything for the main complex in the movie, which is a huge complex in Hong Kong where the robots are maintained. We are doing that, while building downtown Hong Kong streets.”
Small news, but still pretty amazing considering that it sounds practical.
Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins Jr. and Diego Klattenhoff star in the film battling the summer boxoffice May 10, 2013.
Director Takashi Yamazaki (Godzilla Minus One) has got a handful of projects in the works, including this year’s Godzilla Minus Zero and 2028’s Grandgear, and Deadline reports this afternoon that Yamazaki will also be directing a mysterious film titled Nue.
20th Century landed the hot project from director Takashi Yamazaki.
The film is being described as “an original epic,” with Ridley Scott producing.
“Plot details are being kept under wraps,” Deadline notes in their report.
Scott Free’s Ridley Scott and Michael Pruss will produce alongside Keiichiro Moriya and Go Abe from Robot Communications, and Toho-Tombo’s Georgina Pope, as well as Amie Horiuchi.
