What is the connection between Guillermo del Toro and the video game Portal?
In Pacific Rim, the voice of GladOS from Portal can be heard (whether it was in the Gipsy Danger Jäger or the Hong Kong facility, I can't remember). Del Toro said he was a great fan and it was a wink to the video game.
In the Shape of Water, I'm almost certain I have recognized the voice of the Portal facility being used again as the voice of the Baltimore research facility. I don't think I have seen it confirmed anywhere (I haven't spent hours searching though).
Is there really no other connection to Portal than Del Toro being a fan? The repetition of this easter egg makes me thing there might be more to it.
Best Answer
I doesn't seem to be any other connection besides Del Toro being a fan and using the same voice actress in these movies.
