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...
Now that could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy the Kenneth Brannagh Frankenstein, although it felt a bit more like literature than horror.
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.
ReplyDeletehis new movie that is out, 'the orphanage' looks very creepy! the good scary/creepy!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check it out. I've always been meaning to check out Pan's Labyrinth for a while now.
ReplyDeleteDel 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.
