Apparently before he begins work on PACIFIC RIM 2, director Guillermo del Toro plans on making a lower-key, black and white film, possibly starring John Hurt.

According to Collider, del Toro revealed, “Right away, in February/March I should another very small movie, black and white, really, really bizarre before starting—we start pre-production on PACIFIC RIM 2 in August, and then I interrupt it briefly to go into the first of next year to do this strange little movie, and then I restart it and go all the way until we start shooting PACIFIC RIM 2 at the end of 2015 for release in 2017. There’s one great creature in it. It’s a very small cast. I would love to have John Hurt, and there’s an actress that I have in mind that is not well-known but I’ve seen her in a short film. That’s all she’s really done, one feature and one short, but she has an incredibly interesting taste and I’m gonna try her out for the main role.”

We’ll have more news as we get it, but it certainly sounds an interesting project.
