The Work-A-Holic

How busy can one helmer be?

Director Guillermo del Toro is writing and will direct the animated tale "Trollhunters" reports Heat Vision.

The story is based on a young-adult book del Toro submitted to publisher Hyperion two weeks ago, a tale which "combines fairy tales with modern times and is about how difficult it is to be kid" he says.

"Normally, kids are idealized in animated films. But the growing pains, married with the notion that there is a world right next to us that is completely plagued by creatures of ancient lore, it's thematically fitting with the rest of my stuff"

The project is still  down the road a bit as del Toro has just begun work on the screenplay.


Finally, he adds that he will be giving a budget and art presentation to to the studio suits in three weeks for his H. P. Lovecraft adaptation "At the Mountains of Madness" where he hopes he will get the green light to go forward with the project.because he's already thought about casting.

How does he keep track of it all?
