Stein Time?


Since Guillermo del Toro's exit from the "The Hobbit: Part 1 and The Hobbit: Part 2 everyone wants to know what he will do next

Chatting with Collider and Sci-Fi Wire during the recent Saturn Awards, the director says he hasn't yet picked what's next for him.

I want to be, if possible, shooting in May next year…So I need something that is ready to go into preproduction immediately”--He's deciding between three different scripts.

It's likely the choice will be made very soon and then announced at Comic-Con 2010 in a few weeks, leading the way is a film he started to develop back in the mid-90's but couldn't get it going. "It went completely into a beautiful roundabout way and came back to me" says del Toro.

He's also been linked to both another "Hellboy" pic and a new "Frankenstein" adaptation which he confirmed are both still in the works, but neither will ready to head into production until after his next project.

Frankenstein would be my pick if del Toro let me make the choice for him

As for his dream of adapting H. P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness That is still a long way off.

"I would love to be doing ‘Mountains Of Madness,’ but still, even now, it’s very difficult for the studios to take the step of an R-rated, tentpole movie, with a tough ending, no love story" says del Toro.
