Crimson’ is written in a very particular style, and it’s very precise in the way it graduates into a gothic romance. The souls that will connect with it will connect deeply. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
Most of the time – in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ or ‘Devil’s Backbone’ – I’m talking about my childhood. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
You cannot dictate what people find funny, what people find attractive, or what people find scary. There is not a norm. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
I don’t try to sanction other people’s joy in monsters. I mean, I think the fact is, humor, fantasy – you know, like fear, desire or laughter – create genres of their own: comedy, melodrama, or erotic films or horror films… The boundaries cannot be defined. It’s to each his own. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
Every project that you write about or read about, it goes through years of hard work. We write a screenplay; we design. Then you submit those and the budget, and it’s out of your hands. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
I like monsters, and when the monster is a superhero, it’s a byproduct. Like Hellboy, the Hulk, Man-Thing, Swamp Thing, Sandman, Constantine, Demon, Dr. Strange, Spectre, Deadman. Those are the superheroes I followed as a kid religiously. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
I loved when the superhero genre crosses with horror. Morbius. Those are the guys I gravitated towards. Blade. So for me, to be interested in doing a superhero movie, it would need to be on the dark side or a Jack Kirby property. Kamandi, Demon, Mr. Miracle – I love any Kirby. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
I was very attracted to doing ‘The Wolverine’ in Japan because that’s my favorite chapter in the story of Wolverine. But I’m not a superhero guy. Guillermo del Toro Read Quote
