Fans recovering from the news that – after being told he wasn't allowed to deliver an R-rated blockbuster – Guillermo del Toro will not be directing his long-anticipated version of H P Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madnesscan console themselves with the knowledge that the great man is to embark on another horror film, entitled Pacific Rim. The only thing we know about the script is that it's to do with "giant monsters".

Sounds smashing.
