Guillermo Del Toro disheartened by Silent Hills cancellation
People are pretty sad about Silent Hills being canned - none more so than director Guillermo Del Toro.
There are parts of these new trailers for CRIMSON PEAK that are unsafe
Up until George Miller’s recent “mad” resurgence, I would have said that Guillermo Del Toro is probably the most visually imaginative director working in the Hollywood studio system.

Maybe he can do the same for …

Guillermo Del Toro talks more PACIFIC RIM 2
So how would a sequel to Pacific Rim function then? If you think about it, the first film was a done-in-one event, a movie that could very easily stand on its own with no plot threads to wrap up.
