Guillermo Del Toro is busy shooting his upcoming monster movie “Pacific Rim” and up until now has been using soundstages which is why there haven't been any images leaked. Now he's moving out onto the streets of Toronto and making it look like Tokyo for the shoot.

The streets have been made up to look like the aftermath of a giant monster battle. Del Toro had this say about the project at last year's Comic-Con:

“There’s much more to it than the giant monsters and giant robots. We want to make it a big what if: what would happen in the real world if a twenty-five story thing came out of the sea and started destroying cities? How would the world change? What weapons do we need to develop to fight a thing like that? It’s not a fantastic distant future to which we have no relationship. We wanted to make it in the now.”

Check out the clip below.

Pacific Rim hits AMC Theatres sometime in 2013.

    The necksnap carries more weight than Zod's stab because the HERO does it.  Baddies can be bad, but that's because they are BAD, and **doomed to lose to the heroes**.  Having the hero do bad things sends the wrong message (& superheroes are, by definition, mythic characters that *always* carry a message, period), especially to kids.   It also breaks the sprit of the Superman character since he was changed from a vigilante around 1941. Supes could just as easily covered Zod's eyes.

    Man of Steel, Plot of Plastic. Lois knows, as all heroes must be fanned in narcissistic Twitty/Facilebook culture (ala "Amazing Spider Man"). Everyone knows Lois knows, so people will watch everyone around her like a hawk, and S's CK reporter ID will be blown in 5 sec.  (  ;) for the cam CK.) (Very original) plot has S stopping (Nero's red matter drill) World Engine, by (flying up light shaft into wormhole) flying up light shaft into World Engine while (red matter ship)/(SHIELD nuke) crib ship bomb crashed into baddies amid destroyed (Manhattan) Metropolis, tossing (Romulans) Kryptos back into (wormhole) black hole. Then S proceeds to break Bat's 1 rule. Shiny/pretty Supersuit, & Kryptotech cool, but best looking thing by end of movie was "Superman Returns". Some fans will shout: "Let Nolan/Snyder/Goyer try again!", and I will whisper "No." TO:  Nolan/Snyder/Goyer RE:  Superman WASN'T BROKEN.   STOP FIXING.
