Guillermo del Toro Reveals Who’s Returning In Pacific Rim 2
Del Toro as a movie director is one of a kind-he has a unique way to approach each scene in a movie, and he’s not only a well-known director for nothing, but he’s also one of the ambitious guys when it comes to lining up potential projects and cast as he tapped the ladies ideal boyfriend, Ryan Gosling as one of the cast in “Haunted Mansion“.
“All you can do is develop the screenplays, send them in, get a reaction, get the budget, agree or disagree on budget and so forth”, the director said. “I have to have these projects alive to hope and pray that one of them happen”.
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says that “Hellboy 3” could be the biggest in the franchise, but also expressed his concerns about the possibility of it making a big screen debut due to the costs it entails, according to a report on Inquisitr. That’s often how independent films made their money, in fact. “Hellboy 3” is slated to be a bigger movie than its predecessors.
Unfortunately, according to del Toro, the home video market does not exist anymore.
Jaeger pilots Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) and Mako Mori (Rinki Kukuchi) are set to return along with Kaiju-obsessed scientists Dr. Gottlieb (Burn Gorman) and Dr. Newton Geizler (Charlie Day).
“Charlie Day has a great part but so does Charlie Hunnam”, del Toro said of the Pacific Rim sequel. I think that everybody or most everybody that survived is back.
None of the actors have officially signed on but Hunnam and Gorman have collaborated with del Toro again on his upcoming horror flick “Crimson Peak“, indicating good working relationships.
There is still a digital streaming market that should correspond to the sales a movie would formerly make on DVD and Blu-ray, but del Toro said they’re not tracked well enough to give studios confidence in ancillary sales. “The first one made money”. “Although we tried very hard on “Pacific Rim” to marry those two elements, I do feel like ultimately it got weighed heavier on the side of spectacle than storytelling”. “I think that by the time you catch up with the numbers, the platforms have changed”.
The Strain airs Sunday nights at 10PM on FX.
