Guillermo Del Toro has hinted that Pacific Rim is going to be full of destruction and mayhem as they level city blocks.
Del Toro is back in the director's chair for the first time since Hellboy II: The Golden Army for this new science fiction movie.
And the director reveals that the scale of the movie was huge and they wanted to build these sense to put audiences really in the heart of the action.
Speaking to Total Film the director said: "When we’re talking about the physicality of the fight, we ended up building several blocks of Hong Kong.
"And literally demolished them. We built a building and then we took down the buildings. "We built command centres of the robots that were the size of the house. We started them on hydraulic rigs that shoot and elevated them and moved them round so you could really get a sense of the physical nature driving a robot like this."
Pacific Rim brings together an all star cast that includes Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam.
Del Toro is also set to direct his new stop motion animation movie Pinocchio.
Pacific Rim is released July 2013.
