Heavy Metal publisher Kevin Eastman says that Zack Snyder, Guillermo Del Toro and Gore Verbinski will join executive producer David Fincher to direct segments of the upcoming Heavy Metal animated film. The feature is scheduled to include eight or nine segments, and is being envisioned as an adult-themed R-rated film. Animator Tim Miller and Eastman [...] ...

That Heavy Metal movie that David Fincher's putting together that was first announced back in March has been in the news quite a bit the last few days, not all of it good. The first bit of news surrounds the film's studio switch from Paramount to Sony. At first there was no official reason for the switch, but SlashFilm discovered that it was actually Paramount's on-going fight with David Fincher over Curious Case of Benjamin Button that was the inciting incident. In a separate update today, rgbFILTER (via SlashFilm again) posted an interview with Kevin Eastman, where he mentions that "Fincher is directing one, Guillermo Del Toro wants to direct one, Zack Snyder wants to direct one, Gore Verbinski wants to direct one." Three new exciting names to add to the list makes this another hot project yet again. Regarding the studio change, Eastman, who owns the Heavy Metal magazine, told ... ...

Guillermo Del Toro is now booked with films through 2017, including remakes of Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Slaughterhouse-Five, Variety reported. ...
Director Guillermo Del Toro is hot! No, we don’t mean it that way. We mean the dude is in such demand after Hellboy 2: The Golden Army ’s international success that he’s booked up with gig all the way through 2017!!! Yes, Del Toro and Universal, who inked a three-year first-look deal together last year, are making a long-term commitment by setting up four directing projects, including remakes of Frankenstein , Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Slaughterhouse-Five . The fourth project is an adaptation of Drood , a Dan Simmons novel acquired by U that will be published in February by Little, Brown. In addition, Universal still wants the rights to Del Toro’s pet project, an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s awesome book At the Mountains of Madness . Additionally, Del Toro will co-produce an adaptation of David Moody’s apocalyptic novel Hater , and Crimson Peak , a gothic romance spec script by Del Toro and his Mimic collaborator Matthew Robbins, which Del Toro will also produce but not direct. Whew! But first up is New Line/MGM’s The Hobbit , which Del Toro has committed the next five years to. He has even begun writing the script with Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. Universal executives think Drood is the most likely to be Del Toro’s first post- Hobbit directing vehicle. Source ...
Director Guillermo Del Toro is set to make a commitment to Universal Studios that will keep him directing until 2017. If this isn't good enough news, here's what he will be working on: "The Hobbit" (Yeah, we knew that) "Drood" "Frankenstein" (Del Toro mainstay Doug Jones is rumored to be the favorite to play the monster. Check out my interview with Jones for more.) "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" "Slaughterhouse-Five" (Del Toro doing Vonnegut. Umm, yes please.) He will also produce a few films in there as well. OK, post concluded. Now go get excited. ...
Se había comunicado hace un tiempo que Guillermo Del Toro podría hacer una revisión de ‘Tarzan’ , para cuyo guión había contratado los servicios de John Colley. Pero este director tiene una agenda muy apretada. Así que el productor para Warner Bros., Jerry Weintraub, ha buscado sustituto: Stephen Sommers , quien está trabajando en estos momentos en ‘G.I. Joe’ . Sommers coescribirá la adaptación de la obra de Edgar Rice Burroughs, ‘Tarzán de los monos’ (‘Lord of the Apes ’, 1912) junto con Stuart Beattie (guionista de ‘G.I. Joe’ ). Stephen Sommers es autor de lass películas de ‘La momia’ y de cosas bastante malas como ‘Van Helsing’ (2004). También hizo ‘Deep rising: El misterio’ (‘Deep Rising’, 1998), que no recuerdo haber visto. Pero dicen que ‘G. I. Joe’ no tiene tan mala pinta. Lo único que arroja esperanzas de todo esto es que Stuart Beattie tiene entre sus créditos ‘Collateral’ y que participó de alguna manera en la trama de ‘Piratas Del Caribe’ , que en su primera entrega tenía un buen guión. También ha escrito ‘Australia’ , pero sobre ella todavía no podemos emitir juicios de valor. Tarzán siempre ha sido un personaje polémico por sus connotaciones racistas o colonialistas. Si se hiciese una versión actual, sería tan laborioso el trabajo de revisión y reescritura de estos temas que no me espero que Sommers le exija el esfuerzo a su guionista. En las versiones más clásicas de la Metro, el nadador Johnny Weissmüller se hizo fam ...
Readers of this blog are well aware that Mr. Guillermo Del Toro (aka Mr. Awesome Genre Film) is about to spend the next several years helming a pair of Hobbit movies for producer Peter Jackson ... who is certainly no slouch in the action / horror / fantasy department. And we all know that Del Toro has long yearned to do an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness -- which he probably will be doing at Universal some time in the future. Ah, but there are two words you'll hear a lot regarding Guillermo Del Toro: " Universal " and " future ." More specifically, the filmmaker and the studio look to be teaming up for the next two decades! According to one doozy of a Variety article, Uni and Guille will be teaming up for (get this) new versions of Frankenstein , Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde , and Slaughterhouse-Five *, as well as an adaptation of Dan Simmons' upcoming "alternate reality Charles Dickens" novel Drood ! Oh, and he'll also be producing Hater with Mark Steven Johnson and Crimson Peak with Matthew Robbins! This guy's like the Derek Jeter of genre directors! And frankly, it couldn't happen to a cooler moviemaker. I'll include a few choice quotes after the jump, but you should probably just peruse the whole article for yourself. It actually makes you want to look PAST The Hobbit so you can get a peek at (dear lord) Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein . I get goose bumps just thinking about it. (* Gotta feel bad for Frank ...
Guillermo Del Toro, who raised the bar on monster-making in Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth, is now set to helm two more classic monster movies — as well as adapt a classic Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. novel. Though Del Toro's next project is a two-movie version of The Hobbit, he's also apparently cut a deal with Universal to remake two of its oldest monster franchises: Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. These stories, along with Dracula, were cornerstones of the Universal Pictures monster factory in the 1930s. Can Del Toro surpass the glory of those crazy 30s Frankenstein sequels? He says he has a plan. According to Slice of Scifi: The director will add his own twist to the well-known “Frankenstein” franchise, a story he has been waiting to tell all his professional life. “To me, Frankenstein represents the essential human question: ‘Why did my creator throw me here, unprotected, unguided, unaided and lost?’ ” Del Toro said. “With that one, they will have to pry it from my cold dead hands to prevent me from directing it.” However, for “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” Del Toro plans on sticking closely to the original Robert Louis Stevenson tale. Probably the last great version of Frankenstein to hit the screen was Kenneth Branagh's version with a scarred, whiny Robert De Niro emerging from a gooey, womb-like machine to become the monster. As for Jekyll and Hyde, I'd like to see Del Toro have the guts to really stick to the original story, whi ...
You want to get a meeting with Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy director Guillermo Del Toro? Good luck. According to a story in Variety today, he's booked . . . for about the next decade . Del Toro, who's already committed five years — five years — to directing and co-writing The Hobbit , has now lined up his next four projects for Universal after that. And they're doozies: Del Toro will remake Frankenstein , which is apparently a personal fascination for him to the point where he "has made his home a memorabilia shrine to the Karloff monster" from the 1931 film. He'll also remake Slaughterhouse-Five , saying it will be a more literal interpretation of the Kurt Vonnegut novel than the 1972 film was. The third remake is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , where Del Toro also plans to more closely translate Robert Louis Stevenson's original work to film and "explore the addictive high the repressed Jekyll experienced as his murderous alter ego." The fourth project — which Universal executives think will be the first one he tackles after The Hobbit — is an adaptation of the forthcoming novel Drood , in which the author speculates about what happened to Charles Dickens after he survived a major train crash. Oh, and that's not all: He's also producing a couple of films and has some personal pet projects in the pipeline, too. There's also the possibility of another Hellboy sequel — though Del Toro joked to Variety (probably accurately) that Ron Perlma ...
