Self-proclaimed number one fan of Robin Williams' glorious beard here! :)

Two questions for you Mr. Williams,

  • In what kind of comedies do you prefer to star in, the ones that are directed to audience of all ages (like Jumanji or Mrs. Doubtfire), or those with darker and more mature type of humor (at the example, like in World's Greatest Dad)?

  • I heard you're a fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion! Are there any other anime series that you enjoy?

Hello Mr. Del Toro, I'm a big anime fan and I was impressed with your Pacific Rim movie, which shows some influence from japanese mecha series like Evangelion. I could say it was a first time when I saw well done mecha live-action movie. I'm sure upcoming sequel will be top notch too. I wonder if that franchise success, and also good reception of recently released Edge of Tomorrow movie, will push forward some anime/manga live-action adaptations.

I'm both excited and frightened by such perspective, since japanese culture that influenced those series is nothing like what Hollywood is used to. I'm quite excited through about possible Monster adaptation, that I heard you was collaborating with. So now some questions:

  • are there any news about Monster that you could share with us?

  • is there any manga or anime series that you are familiar with, that you would be interested in adapting into movie if given a chance?

Thank you for you answer!

I heard of both Gantz and Blame, although I didn't actually read them. I'll take this as your recommendation, and will remember to check them out.

I'll take it that no comment on Monster means there's no news to pass on... will keep on hoping.
