" The stakes are high for Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro&amp;#039;s enjoyable new blockbuster Pacific Rim, which pits giant robots against giant monsters under the backdrop of a huge budget and highly criticised marketing campaign. Digital Spy spoke to del Toro about how he applied his own distinct touch to writer Travis Beacham&amp;#039;s original treatment for the movie, which is one of those rare blockbuster beasts - it&amp;#039;s not a reboot, remake or sequel! &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to be sanctimonious and say this is the only chance [for original blockbusters],&amp;quot; said del Toro. &amp;quot;You have Elysium coming up. It&amp;#039;s important for me and a certain streak of fantasy that I would love to see more of. &amp;quot;I think the movie will find its audience, I have absolutely no doubt it will. It&amp;#039;s a movie that connects very strongly with an audience. Whether the publicity machine gets them there the first weekend is another conversation.&amp;quot; The Pan&amp;#039;s Labyrinth filmmaker also discusses how he sought to honour the Japanese monster movie tradition by basing the seaborne foes on real animals, and why he would like to explore the mind of Frankenstein writer Mary Shelley. &amp;gt; Idris Elba talks &amp;#039;Pacific Rim&amp;#039;, playing James Bond &amp;gt; Idris Elba on &amp;#039;Luther&amp;#039; movie, Alice Morgan return Pacific Rim opens in UK cinemas on Friday, July 12.
