Guillermo Del Toro Talks 'Pacific Rim' & 'Hellboy 3'.

Del Toro gives us some details on his future plans including 'At The Mountains of Madness', 'Frankestein', and 'Hellboy 3'?...

We were recently notified that Guillermo Del Toro would no longer be moving ahead with 'At the Mountains of Madness' and instead would be going ahead with 'Pacific Rim'. There has also been a lot of rumors that he is developing his own version of a 'Frankestein' movie as well, and the folks over at MovieWeb got the chance to talk to him about those projects as well as the possibility that we might see another 'Hellboy' film.

When asked about his 'Frankenstein' movie at Universal:
"Well you know we are going to have a meeting about it next week to see what they are thinking about it. We have a very cordial relationship and I understand perfectly that, as disappointing as it was, Mountains was a hard decision for them and purely a financial one. I'm sympathetic to that. But as a director I have to keep pursuing it."


They also asked him if he would be pursuing 'At the Mountains of Madness' by pitching it to other studios:
" A hundred percent I'll try, yeah. We at least partially control the movie along with Don Murphy and Jim Cameron, so with a little bit of luck we will find good terms to get it back from Universal. I think Universal has expressed their desire to stay involved if they can. It was a decision of time and money. It was not the right time and it is a lot of money. I'm not a "Pollyanna" that thinks that movies are just made with hopes. But as a director I've got to be rational. I've got to just keep going. I think that I am very, very aware that in an equation that included Tom Cruise and James Cameron, I am box office-wise the weakest link in the equation. So hopefully with a little luck they will find me a little more useful next time."


On the pre-production of 'Pacific Rim':
"We have been in pre-production for six months because we were developing it for me as a producer. So I was developing the visual bible for that. We hope to start shooting this September."


And lastly, he was asked about the possibility of another installment in the 'Hellboy' franchise:
"There are no plans at all."

The Pacific Rim synopsis seems a bit controversial after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, but it still sounds like it would be a cool movie.

I'm satisfied with the Hellboy films we have, not everything has to be a trilogy.

They shouldn't change a thing about Pacific because of the recent and ongoing event out there.They made WW2 movies whilst the war was still going on and millions died.It's just an F'ing movie after all.

Sad that we dont see At The Mountains of Madness for a while but i hope that The Pacific Rim is epic as hell!:)
New Frankenstein movie would be epic too!
Doug Jones as The Monster!


And well?... Hellboy 3! If they make it i hope they dont give HB a two annoying twins!:/... THAT WOULD SUCK SO MUCH!
The characters i would like to see in the third movie are Capt. Ben Daimio, Kate Corrigan, Roger The Homunculus and Lobster Johnson.
The villains should be Prof. Herman Von Klempt and Karl Ruprecht Kroenen again.
Von Klempt should bring him back to life cause they are partners in the comics. This time he should play a bigger role and have a bigger fight with HB.

I am profoundly dissapointed in the loss of the Hellboy franchise, amazing characters, great visuals, this is what movies were ment to be, complete escapes from reality,if not Del Toro...then who?

Edgar Wright? He has the humour and sense of timing down.Just needs a really good design team on board :)
