The filmmaker recently spoke about the size and scale of this epic creature feature, and the sets they had to build, only to have them destroyed by the Kaiju monsters.
"When we're talking about the physicality of the fight, we ended up building several blocks of Hong Kong. And literally demolished them. We built a building and then we took down the buildings. We built command centers of the robots that were the size of the house. We started them on hydraulic rigs that shoot and elevated them and moved them round so you could really get a sense of the physical nature driving a robot like this."
He also revealed this movie marks his best creative experience within the Hollywood studio system.
"So much of the creation of the movie was having the best creative experience I've ever had in Hollywood."
Pacific Rim comes to theaters July 12th, 2013 and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Diego Klattenhoff, Burn Gorman, Robert Kazinsky. The film is directed by Guillermo del Toro.

After seeing Prometheus, I'm so disappointed he turned down Django. I would've loved to see him in that role.

Cool costume, but I really can't wait to see what the Robots and Giant Monsters will look like.

For a second I thought it was a new Blade film until I saw the title.
