Guillermo del Toro

And All Was Right With the World

Beasts of the Southern Wild Writer Teams with del Toro for The Secret Garden

by Susana Polo | 11:47 am, February 5th, 2013

Here’s some news you weren’t expecting: Universal Pictures just called dibs on a new adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett‘s The Secret Garden, written by Lucy Alibar and produced by Guillermo del Toro.

So on the one hand, I’m getting a little worried about Guillermo del Toro’s work schedule, but on the other, this project seems a perfect fit for the inclinations of all involved.

Assuming Direct Control

New Pacific Rim Images Make Cancelling the Apocalypse Look Like a Good Idea

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:30 pm, February 4th, 2013

…good thing Idris Elba‘s on that.

I’m getting real sick of winter, guys. There are no good holidays left (Valentine’s Day doesn’t count) and it doesn’t seem like it’ll ever get warm. Also we have five more months to wait until Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim comes out. Can I just cryogenically freeze myself and wake up when the summer movies get here? No? Dang. I guess these new pictures (Mecha! Panicking civilians! Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi!) will have to tide me over.

The Folks Who Made Up This Justice League Movie Rumor Could Not Be Playing It More Safe

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:00 pm, January 24th, 2013

Ok, here we go. Warner Bros. Justice League movie will star Hawkman, Blue Beetle, Donna Troy, Impulse, Terra, and Ch’P. What? That doesn’t sound right to you? That’s because it’s totally not. Pick the most obvious DC Comics characters you can and then see if they match up with the latest rumor floating around.

One Scary Mutha: Muschietti and del Toro Deliver With Mama

by Zoe Chevat | 12:26 pm, January 22nd, 2013

Children are not to be trusted. At least, that’s what a lifetime of horror-movie ingestion has taught us. If it’s a child- or child-shaped – don’t go near it, and definitely, absolutely, do not adopt. Ever. But, tired as the demonic child archetype may seem, don’t let the marketing for Guillermo del Toro-produced horror flick MAMA fool you. Andres Muschietti’s debut mainstream feature is a classy, modern, often surprising take on the monster-in-the-house formula. Though it does nothing new where plot content is concerned, it gets points for style and execution. MAMA is a delicious morsel, to be sure, if not particularly substantial, delivering its goods in due course, with a few new ingredients. A new ice cream flavor is still ice cream, but we’ll take a new spin on a classic if it’s tasty.

(Contains less of what we might call “spoilers” and more “things that can be inferred from the trailer and promotional materials”. However, if being kept in the dark is important, proceed with caution.)

We Could Have Had It All: Joss Whedon Wanted to Direct Star Wars: Episode VII

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:25 pm, January 14th, 2013

“I’m as angry as you should be. … When I heard that I was like, ‘I wonder … no, I really can’t do that. Oh, I already have a job.’ I wouldn’t clear the Avengers. I’m having so much fun with that sequel right now, just with the script, that I couldn’t imagine not doing it.” — Joss Whedon on not being able to direct Star Wars: Episode VII because of the Avengers sequel. So J.J. Abrams and Guillermo del Toro were offered the movie but said no, and Whedon wanted to do it but can’t. Disney’s having worse luck than Jek Porkins during the Battle of Yavin.

Unexpectedly Appropriate Mashup of the Day: Pacific Rim Meets The Powerpuff Girls

by Susana Polo | 9:33 am, January 9th, 2013

If Guillermo del Toro and Genndy Tartakovsky were actually to collaborate on something (like maybe that Samurai Jack movie, huh), I think I might blow a gasket.

Guillermo Del Toro’s Gives Details On His Justice League Project, Hints At A DC Comics Film Continuity

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:03 am, January 8th, 2013

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Lock Guillermo del Toro in a room and tell him he can’t have any supper until he finishes his work. In this case, his work being the countless projects he’s currently juggling. More fuel was added to that fire back in November of last year when a rumor was reported about the director working on a superhero project for Warner Bros., one that would be based on DC Comics’ magic characters. Well guess what? Del Toro says it’s definitely happening and he even shared a few small details, including that of an impending DC film continuity that involves Batman and Superman.

Looks Like Pacific Rim Won’t Be As GLaDOS-y as We Thought

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:55 pm, January 6th, 2013

Generally speaking, I saw two types of reactions when the Pacific Rim trailer came out. The first was “Wow, this looks awesome/OK/kind of like Transformers.” The second was “… wait, is that GLaDOS?” And while Ellen McLain‘s GLaDOS voice did feature quite heavily in the trailer, that won’t be the case in the movie itself. Because, says Guillermo del Toro, they’re using a different vocal filter. Sigh. It was not to be.
