Since I have become appreciative of Guillermo del Toro‘s work this last year, I’m always interested in things he’s working on.  The items that caught my eye that inspired this supposed short piece were notes on At the Mountains of Madness & Hellboy 3.

But first…

Pacific Rim

- Pacific Rim, his latest monster movie that I’ve been following, is due to start shooting five weeks from now.  Pacific Rim is basically a giant robot vs. giant monster kind of flick that will be starring Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Idris Elba, Max Martini & Clifton Collins Jr..

Pacific Rim has already had it’s release date changed and is now due out in movie theaters in May of 2013.

Guillermo del Toro‘s other projects include exec producing Mama, starring Jessica Chastain & Dreamworks Animation’s Rise of the Guardians.  Rise of the Guardians is sort of like Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, except, well, it’s where Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Jack Frost and the Sandman face off together against the Bogeyman.  The cast/voice power includes Hugh Jackman, Jude Law, Isla Fisher, Dakota Goyo, Chris Pine & Alec Baldwin.

Guillermo del Toro’s other efforts include having penned/contributed to the screenplays for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Due out 2012) and The Hobbit: There and Back Again (2013).  Being directed by Peter Jackson, the cast includes Luke Evans, Hugo Weaving, Evangeline Lilly, Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood plus the venerable character-actor Andy Serkis.
