After working on big budget movies for a while, it’s always wonderful to see one of your favorite directors do something a bit more intimate. That’s exactly the case for Guillermo del Toro, who just dropped some really interesting news over on Collider.

“Right away, in February/March, I should [start on] another very small movie, black and white, really, really bizarre before starting… we start pre-production on Pacific Rim 2 in August, and then I interrupt it briefly to go into the first of next year to do this strange little movie, and then I restart it and go all the way until we start shooting Pacific Rim 2 at the end of 2015 for release in 2017,” he tells the site.

“It’s a very small cast. I would love to have John Hurt, and there’s an actress that I have in mind that is not well-known but I’ve seen her in a short film. That’s all she’s really done, one feature and one short, but she has an incredibly interesting taste, and I’m gonna try her out for the main role.”

He adds, “There’s one great creature in it.”
