Video: Del Toro on 'Operatic' Grandeur of Mechs vs. Monsters in <em>Pacific Rim</em>











Guillermo del Toro is going big with Pacific Rim – very big. The latest film by the director of Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy is a big-budget sci-fi adventure that sees 25-story-high mega-mechs battling 25-story-high kaiju mega-monsters — think Godzilla vs. Gundam. It’s his largest film to date, not only in budget but in scope. “I went for a very operatic, very grand, very crazy type of imagery,” del Toro told Wired.


In our video interview, we talked with the director about the tradeoff between emotion and spectacle, using special effects versus sets and his “benign dictatorship” while filming the movie. Pacific Rim debuts July 11, 2013.
