Warner Bros.
... with its own awesomeness.
Guillermo del Toro serves up a heapin' helpin' of giant monsters (called Kaiju, which is Japanese for "strange beast") fightin' giant robots (called Jaegers, which probably reminds you of an alcoholic beverage that its wise to stay far away from) in the first official trailer for "Pacific Rim," next summer's sci-fi action extravaganza in which the "Hellboy" director gets to play with a really big budget ... and make quite a mess while doing so (a taste of which was given by the recent viral teaser featuring San Francisco under siege by one of the beasties).

Guillermo del Toro Gearing Up for ‘Hellboy 3’
Sony
When inspiration strikes, it's time to take action. And that's exactly what Guillermo del Toro is doing.
The director was seemingly touched by Ron Perlman's recent visit to a charity function hosted by the Make A Wish Foundation for two "Hellboy" young fans (yes, Perlman was in full costume) to make their dream of meeting the comic-book character come true—so touched, in fact, that he's now hell-bent on getting a third film up and running, Total Film reports.
"I can say publicly that now we are together in trying [to do "Hellboy 3"]," the director mused. "We're going to make an effort to do it. I hope it happens." Get More »

UPDATE: All's been quiet on this project since it was first announced almost seven months ago, but now Variety brings word that "Pan's Labyrinth" director Guillermo del Toro is officially on board to direct the new live-action adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast."

Really, this movie can't get here soon enough. Meanwhile, del Toro is wrapping up "Pacific Rim" at Warner Bros. and Watson is set to reunite with her "Harry Potter" director David Yates for "Your Voice in My Head." Get More »

Orphans: They will f**k you up. At least, Hollywood orphans will. For years, these sad ragamuffins have been a staple of the horror scene (see, of course: "Orphan"). And the latest star to fall victim to these dangerous, parentless children? Three time Oscar nominee Amy Adams.
Well, maybe: According to Bloody Disgusting, Adams is in talks to headline the upcoming big budget remake of the acclaimed 2007 Spanish horror film "The Orphanage," but nothing is yet final.
