Director Guillermo del Toro’s amazing visual style is on display in the trailer for his upcoming film, The Shape of Water.  The film, set during the Cold War in 1963, tells the story of a woman working at a government facility.  She discovers an intelligent sea creature that is being held for experiments.  From the trailer, it looks like a magical and suspenseful story.

Sally Hawkins stars in the movie, which was written by del Toro and Vanessa Taylor.  Other actors in the film include Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Lauren Lee Smith, and Michael Stuhlbarg. Doug Jones, who played Abe Sapien in the Hellboy films, plays the creature in The Shape of Water.

If you have enjoyed del Toro’s work in films like Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) and Hellboy (2004), you will not want to miss The Shape of Water.  Check out the trailer.

The Shape of Water hits theaters on December 8, 2017.

    Director’s Guillermo del Toro’s Latest Work: A Simpsons Opening

    Director Guillermo del Toro created the upcoming The Simpsons “Treehouse of Horror XXIV” opening sequence. The nearly three-minute opening features enough movie and horror references to make it worth re-watching to try to catch all of them. del Toro does a cool job of incorporating all of the references with the traditional Simpsons’ opening, including Bart’s blackboard, the trip to the grocery, and the ending on the couch. Watch for some Alfred Hitchock, an appearance by Edgar Allen Poe, and many movie references, including Mr. Burns in a sequence using del Toro’s own Pan’s Labyrinth (2006).

    The segment is pretty cool, and at the least, del Toro’s involvement has garnered a lot of press for the twenty-fourth installment of the Halloween tradition.
