Guillermo Del Toro has more projects running consecutively than many directors get completed in a decade. The PACIFIC RIM director will be teaming up with television Gods HBO to produce a series based on the frankly incredible manga MONSTER. The original intention was to bring this comic to the big-screen via New Line Cinema. However, considering the series ran over 18 books, the wise decision has been made to develop it into a TV series. Del Toro will script the show along with Steven Thompson (SHERLOCK), and will also direct the pilot. MONSTER follows a surgeon who saves a young boy’s life, but soon discovers that this young boy will release terrible evil onto the world. The books were also adapted into a fantastic anime series.
PACIFIC RIM is released 12th July 2013. It stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi and Charlie Day.
