Del Toro hopes 'Rim' will be start of new franchise

Guillermo del Toro wants 'Pacific Rim' to spawn a sequel and a video game.
The director envisions his new summer blockbuster - which centres on the battle between otherworldly monsters known as Kaijus and man-built robots called Jaegers - as the start of a new Hollywood franchise and is eager to expand the universe he has created in the Idris Elba-starring flick.
