Guillermo del Toro on a PACIFIC RIM and GODZILLA Crossover Film

 

Legendary Pictures is developing two epic giant monster movie projects. They've got Pacific Rim, which comes out this summer, and Godzilla which is currently shooting. I guess if the production company really wanted to, they could combine the two properties into one crazy movie. 

In a recent interview with Collider Guillermo del Toro was asked about the possibility of a Pacific Rim Vs. Godzilla crossover film. Although there may not be any plans to do it at the moment, the director says that he'd love to see it happen! Here's what he told them...

So far with the [Pacific Rim] sequel, what we’re writing, what we’re creating, is very different, so there are no plans. Hypothetically, I would love the [frick] out of it. I would love to see a jaeger and Godzilla duke it out. That would be too much for the human brain. But I don’t think there are plans on that. I don’t even know what direction they’re taking Godzilla in. I know somewhat that it’s grounded differently. Pacific Rim, my aspiration was, the color, the saturation of color, was almost an acid-drip version of the heavy-metal coloring that I loved when Richard Corben was working there, when [Jean-Claude] Forest was working there. Super bright, super saturated, the crazy color and aesthetic. And Godzilla is more realistic, somewhat. That’s my thinking. That’s what I’ve heard. I don’t even know which way they’re going.

I seriously doubt this movie would ever happen, but if it did I'm sure it'd be entertaining as hell. Would you like to see a Jaeger battle Godzilla? I'm sure we're going to get so much giant robot and monster ass kicking in Pacific Rim that it won't matter.
