Guillermo Del Toro Possibly Directing Pacific Rim

Guillermo del Toro has long wanted to bring the H.P. Lovecraft horror classic At the Mountains of Madness to the big screen. And now, after several long months where it looked like the film might finally happen, it seems like the director may have to keep waiting and move onto another project in the meantime.

Deadline claims that del Toro may make Pacific Rim his next project instead of Mountains, which is still waiting on a green-light from Universal. The studio is said to still be skittish about the pic's almost certain "R" rating and big budget.

Pacific Rim is a monster movie that's set-up over at Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, the studio and production outfit behind the Batman films, 300 and Clash of the Titans. Pacific Rim is described as "a Travis Beacham-scripted PG-13 tent pole-sized project with big monsters and the creation of a new world, and that this could very well be the next film del Toro directs."
