Del Toro to Bring Frankenstein Monster Back to Life

In an exclusive interview given to MTV News yesterday, Guillermo Del Toro stated that he is working on his own Frankenstein adaptation. The director of Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth is a known lover of the classic Universal monsters, but it sounds like his take might be a unique one. Oh yeah, and he also chats about two little projects called The Hobbit and Harry-something-or-other...

  1. Now that could be interesting.
    I did enjoy the Kenneth Brannagh Frankenstein, although it felt a bit more like literature than horror.

  2. I admired what they were trying to accomplish with the Branagh Frankenstein, which was adapt the Shelley novel more faifhfully. But in execution, I felt it fell flat. I couldn't stand either Branagh's or DeNiro's performances.

  5. Del Toro is attached to a million projects it seems. This one though is one I'd love to see him actually tackle. His aesthetic and voice are a perfect match for this material.
