Local movie icon preps for busy year

Expect to see Guadalajara-born horror/fantasy genre movie director and producer Guillermo del Toro featured heavily in the entertainment sections of newspapers and websites during 2013.

His first directorial offering  for four years, “Pacific Rim,”  a Godzilla-meets-Transformers monster movie, will be released on May 10.

He calls the epic his “most un-modest film” to date and one that “has everything.”

The film involves giant monsters traveling through a vortex in the Pacific Rim where they attack major cities. Humans attempt to battle them by using suits called jaegers.

Del Toro’s most financially successful films, “Hellboy” and “Blade,” have been based on comic book characters.

But his most critically acclaimed films, “Pan’s Labyrinth” and the “Devil’s Backbone,” have been dark Spanish-language fantasies.
