PACIFIC RIM
Guillermo del Toro Eyeing "PACIFIC RIM"
Guillermo del Toro looks to have his sights set on a brand new project. Deadline is reporting that the director is interested in helming Legendary Pictures' "PACIFIC RIM", the story of mankind's defense against attacking creatures.Based on his original 25-page treatment, Travis Beachmam has written the screenplay, which is said to target a PG-13 audience.
Despite rumors to the contrary, nothing is locked on Del Toro's "AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS", meaning that taking the director's chair on "PACIFIC RIM" could put off the H.P. Lovecraft adaptation for some time.
Regardless of whether Del Toro takes the gig, Legendary looks just about set to move forward with "PACIFIC RIM" and, as such, expect official word on a director in the very near future.
Synopsis : When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
