What can we expect from Guillermo del Toro in the future? Will Pacific Rim launch him into the A-list, or will he continue to have to fight for funding? Time and the box office will tell. But however we want to read Pacific Rim’s success or failure, there’s no doubt that Guillermo del Toro will remain one of the most unique directors working in Hollywood. Few directors have been successful at melding the magical and the real, at creating creatures so singular in personality and appearance, at representing childhood experience and childhood fears on the big screen. In genre and out of it, Guillermo del Toro already has an impressive resume. We’ll just have to see what he comes up with next.
The Bizarre Worlds Of Guillermo del Toro
I’m always wary of calling any single actor/director/writer the ‘best’ anything. There’s always room for opinion, as any film blogger knows.

So perhaps claiming that Guillermo del Toro is the best director working in Hollywood today is a little much … but he’s certainly ONE of the best.
