Neo Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 A very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 CP is not Hell House at all. Nothing could be further from that. CP is a spec script Matthew and I wrote right after Pan's Labyrinth. It stayed mostly under the radar but I have been pushing it quietly. Universal has been very supportive and wanted to do it. It's set at the turn of the century and it is a Gothic romance with ghosts. When I use the GR term I use it not in the Barbara Cartland model but rather in a Bronte fashion. Dark and stormy and wind-swept.This is my first foray into horror since Sci-Fi/Horror Mimic. DBB was more of an essay on ghosts than a ghost story and, except as producer, I have not returned to scary stuff in a long time. Glad you guys are jazzed. So am I!!BestGDT http://www.deltorofilms.com/wp/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=578&start=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 This will suck. GDT put his name on Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and that was one of the worst pieces of dung I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Good news. I have had it with found footage horror movies. At this point it is just another excuse for making awfully produced, poorly acted and very cheap movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only produced that. Cameron's credit didn't go down due to Sanctum. Producing credit is way different than a director's credit. Will be Del Toro in his element.

He will be directing this one. Although, Orphanage (GDT produced it as well) is a damn good movie and I always recommend it to anyone who hated Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, which was awful.

Neo Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) We're going to do Crimson Peak first," he told us. We're going to write the screenplay [for Pacific Rim 2] and take it from there. Depending on the screenplay, I'll do it or not. http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/171345-for-del-toro-which-comes-first-crimson-peak-or-pacific-rim-2 Edited April 6, 2013 by Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) "Crimson Peak" is a ghost story too right? Yes, but fortunately, like in comedies you can have Woody Allen or The Farrelly Brothers or you can do Preston Sturges or Lubitsch or all of these things. There are so many ways to tell a ghost story. "Crimson Peak" is a gothic romance. I don't mean that there's going to be a guy who appears with a dozen flowers singing in the balcony, what I mean is that, in the most classical definition of the term, it's a gothic romance. It's got a lot of darkness and sound and fury and drama and stormy; but at the core of it is a scary movie.Is that still going to be next?Yes, God willing. We're going to be doing the pilot for the series "The Strain" [based on the trilogy of novels co-written by Del Toro and "The Town" author Chuck Hogan] for Fox and then I'm going to go right into the prep for "Crimson Peak." http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/interview-guillermo-del-toro-talks-mama-pacific-rim-crimson-peak-dreamworks-and-what-happened-to-his-disney-double-dare-you-shingle-20130115?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&page=1#blogPostHeaderPanel Edited April 6, 2013 by Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Guillermo del Toro has found the first occupant for his haunted house thriller "Crimson Peak" -- Emma Stone is in early negotiations to star in the Legendary Pictures movie. While the deal is not completed, Stone is expected to sign up for the chiller that del Toro will direct. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118064696/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I liked Sanctum.As did I, it's also one of my reference films for my 3D TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think people go with what other people say too often. Has anyone here actually seen Sanctum (besides Schu)?And besides, I'm not sold on GDT. Pan's was good but imo he has put his name on a lot of shit and I found Hellboy and its sequel to be quite bad.

Incarnadine Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think people go with what other people say too often. Has anyone here actually seen Sanctum (besides Schu)?And besides, I'm not sold on GDT. Pan's was good but imo he has put his name on a lot of shit and I found Hellboy and its sequel to be quite bad.I would call the sequel "weak", but not bad, but I have no problems with the original. The lead was excellent casting, Perlman nailed it, and in my completely bias opinion I think the lead in CP is perfect (assuming negotiations go through).
