And while heavy-hitters typically line up to throw money at auteur Guillermo del Toro (brain behind Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, The Orphanage, Mimic and many others), the man still clearly knows how to spin a good pitch.

Twenty-five-story-high robots beating the crap out of 25-story-high monsters. We're trying to create a world in which the characters are real and how it would affect our world politically, how it would affect the landscape if creatures like this really came out of the sea, etc."
