Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' follow up 'Crimson Peak' hits theaters 2015 & Tom Hiddleston shares script details

After the success of his 2013 blockbuster monster movie Pacific Rim, director Guillermo del Toro is getting ready for his next project, Crimson Peak. The Spanish director has acquired Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska for this film, which was recently announced to be released in 2015. Check out what del Toro and star Hiddleston have to say about the project!

"Crimson Peak is a much, much, much smaller movie [than Pacific Rim], completely character-driven," director del Toro explained. "It's an adult movie, an R-rated movie, pretty adult. Shockingly different from anything I've done in the English language."

He added: "Normally, when I go to do a movie in America for the spectacle and younger audience, for Blade or whatever. This movie's tone is scary and it's the first time I get to do a movie more akin to what I do in the Spanish movies."

The director then went on to explain how he likes to make movies.

"The thing I do in those movies is recontextualization, take a movie and then move it into a completely different place. Like a Gothic and then move it into the Spanish Civil War [The Devil's Backbone]," he said. "This is a Gothic romance, haunted house, in the north of England."

Meanwhile, actor Tom Hiddleston recently opened up about being scared when first reading del Toro's script for Crimson Peak.

"Guillermo's an absolute omniscient about that particular genre of fiction, in literature, in cinema," he said. "His precision and passion. The script itself is bone chillingly terrifying. When I was reading it for the first time I had to get up and walk around the room, then sit down again because I was so scared. But it's also so sophisticated. It's actually a very mature film. It has a very sophisticated and adult sensibility that stems from what Guillermo sees as the root of all of this stuff, which is the gothic romance literature of the nineteenth century."

These guys sure know how to sell a movie! Are you excited for Crimson Peak?
