Guillermo Del Toro has spent a lot of time helping out on various Dreamworks animated projects over the last few years like MEGAMIND and PUSS IN BOOTS, but now he seems to be spreading his awesomeness to another animated studio, Fox Animation Studios. Del Toro will develop a film called BOOK OF LIFE, which is based on the Mexican celebration Day of the Dead. The film was originally titled just that, but Pixar has a film in development with a similar setting called the exact same thing. The film is scheduled to be released on 10th October, 2014 and will be directed by Mexican animator, Jorge R. Gutierrez. Guillermo Del Toro is currently in post-production on his next film PACIFIC RIM.
PACIFIC RIM is directed by Guillermo Del Toro. It stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Ron Perlman and Charlie Day. It is scheduled to arrive in UK and US cinemas on 12th July 2013.
