- [Thomas] Hello, Comic Con.

(audience cheers)

This is literally our favorite thing to do

every year at Legendary.

We mark this moment where we get to come

and show you our wares,

and hopefully you're as excited about it

after we show it to you as we are.

We've got some exciting things

including we're going to hand out some cards

and take a poll and see how many times

you think Guillermo del Toro will use the F-word.

(audience cheers)

I also wanted to thank everybody down here at Comic Con.

We had the privilege of making a little dinosaur movie

this year called Jurassic World with Universal.

(audience cheers)

And it was everybody from Jeff Shell, Donna Langley,

everybody at Universal was an absolute privilege to do,

and in all seriousness got to fulfill a lifelong dream

of making a movie with Steven Spielberg.

(audience applause)

So, in any case, thank you for coming

and I'm going to hand the mic over to your host,

Chris Hardwick.

(audience cheers)

- [Voiceover] Chris is the best!

- [Chris] It's me again. Hey, guys.

(audience cheers)

Stop it.

(audience cheers)

What? Is there something behind me?

(audience cheers)

What? Oh, I'm supposed to turn this around.

"Hi, Chris Hardwick, I love you, love Aisha Tyler. #Hugs"

Aw, so sweet. I didn't know what know what you screaming at.

I was like, "Is there something behind me?"

because no one's this excited about me.

I love you, I will love you later.

(audience laughs)

Let's just get into this, you guys, because there's a lot.

We have an hour, we're going to get

to show you some amazing stuff,

taking on some great three different movies

that people haven't seen anything before.

And I am so honored and delighted

that this man knows my name,

and he's going to be one of the guests

on our podcast tonight.

Please welcome Guillermo del Toro!

(audience cheers)

Now...

I would like to...

As Guillermo's taking a seat I want you to know

people are passing out tickets, this is part of a giveaway,

we're doing a Google VR giveaway

so that you can check out,

you're gonna get 50 000 of these are being distributed,

and then there's very specific experiences from Warcraft,

Crimson Peak, and Pac Rim when you go over to

the Legendary booth so you can redeem those.

- [Guillermo] Can I ask a favor?

When Tom Hiddleston comes out, ignore him.

- [Chris] Yeah, that's...

- [Guillermo] Don't make, don't applaud, nothing.

- [Chris] It's impossible.

- [Guillermo] Nothing, do nothing.

- [Chris] He's hypnotic.

So, let's just really quickly talk

before we show some footage,

a little bit about Crimson Peak

and why you wanted to make it,

and why you thought it was important to tell?

- Well, I wanted to create a really classical,

lush, lavish Gothic romance.

You know, it hasn't been done in a while

and it's they're always female-centric movies

that have very strong protagonists.

And I have two daughters that are incredibly strong,

and my wife is my high school sweetheart

who is incredibly strong.

And I really think that many times

in some of these movies

the girl ends up being a damsel in distress.

And I wanted to create a tale that was

a classical Gothic romance,

don't expect a reinvention when at the end

there's out of the house was a spaceship

and it was an experiment about nothing.

Or it's all a studio

and they're shooting a TV show, nothing.

It's a straight Gothic romance,

but where certain twists are

a little more gender-liberated, shall we say.

(audience cheers)

They are a little more about

being yourself and stuff like that,

but that we stopped,

I'm incredibly conscious about this with two daughters,

we live in a world that is, there is a secret gender war,

and we have to, as a story-teller,

it is our duty to take these great genres and great forms

and retell them a little.

And I'm conscious of that.

(audience cheers)

- [Chris] Excellent.

- With that said, I want it to be scary. (laughs)

And notice I don't use that word that Thomas said.

(audience laughs)

- [Guillermo] See?

- [Chris] What word are you talking about?

- [Guillermo] I have huge control.

And I want it to be scary, and I wanted it to be gorgeous.

And I think it's one of my three favorite movies I've done

and is, in my opinion, you don't have to agree,

is the most beautiful movie I have made.

- [Chris] (laughs)

- [Guillermo] (speaks in Spanish)

(audience cheers)

- [Chris] So why don't we show a clip from this

and then we'll have a little announcement

about something from the trailer after you guys see it.

- Let's do that, and let me warn you,

for those that don't like spoilers,

but there spoilers, but damn.

(audience laughs)

- I'm not gonna say it.

- [Chris] Let's meet the cast of Crimson Peak,

I think you're gonna be very excited to see Mia Wasikowska,

Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain!

(audience cheers)

The long walk all the way across...

There it is.

(audience cheers)

Welcome.

(audience cheers)

- [Voiceover] Tom, we love you!

(audience cheers)

- [Tom] Thank you very much.

- [Chris] That is his life. "We love you!" Oh my God.

- [Guillermo] I always say that if they found him

grinding puppies in an alley, they would go, "Oh, Puppies."

- [Chris] (laughs)

- [Guillermo] He's so nice.

- [Chris] You guys, this is the first peek

that you've seen at the trailer,

do you want to make an announcement about

the Allerdale Hall?

- [Guillermo] Well, we are creating an experience,

a Halloween Horror Night at Universal.

So all of you that live in California or partake,

I'll see you there.

It's gonna be terrifying and cool.

- [Chris] Excellent. Mia, let's start with you.

What can you tell us about your character

and what was the experience like being on set?

I mean, it's everything...

The environment was so immersive.

- Yeah, I've never been on a set like this before.

It was the most beautifully created mansion

and the detail was just so incredible.

Yeah, I've never been on a set like that before,

it was amazing.

- [Chris] Yeah. I know backstage

I was talking to Tom about

what we were going to talk about here,

and he goes, "I want to just throw it to the fans.

I would rather just have the fans ask questions."

Because everything he says makes your heart melt,

so we're gonna open up the floor to fan questions right now

and you guys can ask the panel

whatever it is that you wanna know.

- [Guillermo] He has a great accent.

- [Chris] He does, everything about him.

Yes, hi! Are you okay?

- [Voiceover] Yeah.

- [Chris] Okay. What is your name?

- [Voiceover] Angel.

- And what's your question?

- [Voiceover] My question is, I know the building size,

set, sorry.

So I wanna know which part of set do guys like most?

- [Tom] That's a good question.

- [Chris] Did you say which part of the set

do guys like most?

- [Voiceover] Yeah, sorry about that.

- That's okay, just lean closer to the microphone,

we can't really hear you.

- [Voiceover] That which part of set do you guys like?

- [Chris] Which part of the set do you guys like the most?

What's your favorite part,

is it the acting or is it the set? What do you guys love?

- Of the physical set, you mean?

- [Voiceover] Yeah, the castle, yeah.

- I, personally...

the great hall I found just jaw-dropping.

Because you have to understand,

this is, the house that the Sharpes live in

is in Cumberland in the north of England,

and the house was built on a sound stage in Toronto.

And when I walked in for the first time,

it was just breath-taking.

Because it was on three or four storeys

with a working elevator.

And if you actually trod on the floorboards

the clay which is underneath the house

would seep across the floor.

It was the most extraordinary place,

the most extraordinary set I have ever seen.

And I was actually very sad when they had to tear it down.

That's what they do.

- [Guillermo] It is very sad.

I like the bathroom.

(everyone laughs)

And it sounds horrible, but the bathroom was gorgeous.

- [Chris] Yeah, that's very important. Jessica...

- [Guillermo] Not for the reasons you think.

- [Chris] I kinda feel like some of the reasons we think.

- [Guillermo] Well, yes, that too.

- I like, I mean, maybe it's a bit possessive,

but I really liked Lucille's bedroom.

And every corner of that room

was filled with something that...

I can't really explain it because it's all spoilers

but it was so, so beautiful,

and it's photographed beautifully.

- [Chris] Mia, what was your favorite part about

making the Crimson Peak?

- Probably just being able to work with Guillermo

and the cast who were so fantastic.

I was new to the genre

and to the concept of horror,

and I found, Guillermo gave me a copy of Frankenstein

and there was an introduction to the book that he wrote.

And it was like, sort of an education

in why it's an important thing,

and how we learn about ourselves through our fears.

So it was kind of amazing to have Guillermo as a guide

in this new world, and it was really cool.

- [Chris] Excellent. What is your name?

- [Voiceover] My name is Katie.

- And what's your question?

- [Voiceover] My question is for Tom.

I wanted to know from your perspective,

how is Mr. del Toro different from

the other directors you've worked with?

What's unique about him?

- Well the first thing to say

is that we all got given

these extraordinary character biographies

when we received the script.

And it was a 10-page life story,

maybe even it was 15, I can't remember,

but it was the most incredible document

with my star sign, and my date of birth,

and the secrets that I don't want to tell anyone,

and what I like and what I don't like,

and a horrible time I had with my aunt
