		<description><![CDATA[I've lost count on how many Frankenstein productions are in development right now, there's only Guillermo del Toro's that has gripped me and got me excited over it's possibilities. 

Sadly we've got another one to contend with today as The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business Blog say writer/director Neil Burger (Interview with the Vampire, The Illusionist) is remaking the 1930's horror classic Bride of Frankenstein at Universal.

How depressingly predictable. 



As any horror buff knows, Bride of Frankenstein is one of the seminal Hollywood sequels, probing deeper into more interesting themes than the original Boris Karloff movie and in doing so becoming more of a tragic human drama than a horror movie. Ultra macabare but very farcically sinister the movie was directed by Universal regular James Whale (who also helmed the original Frankenstein and The Invisible Man some years before). The story focused on Frankenstein’s monster on the run from an angry mob and being introduced to a female mate, who ultimately rejects him.

Of course you can already begin to see the problems the remake is going to face. Despite the monster's story being engrained in popular culture for decades now, your still leaving younger audiences without the backbone of an original movie to support it. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guillermo del Toro has been out promoting his horror novel The Strain but inevtiably interviewers are way more interested in what's going down with The Hobbit, possibly the biggest fanboy movie since Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (although obviously The Dark Knight sitting proudly as the second highest grossing movie of all time would dispute this) and congrats to Simon Mayo who got more out of him than most on BBC Radio 5 Live This Week. 

It's a great interview... Mayo is the best presenter on U.K. radio and del Toro is always open, honest and full of interesting things to say. del Toro joins at the 1 hour 47 minute mark and really it's better to hear del Toro tell you this stuff than it is to read it from me. So for once, I'm pretty much encouraging you not to read any further, at least not until you have listened to the interview. DO IT NOW!



Ok done that? Good. Let's begin. So before we get to The Hobbit, I was actually more excited for what del Toro had to say about Mary Shelley's 19th century gothic novel Frankenstein, a novel that he once again proclaims is a "lifelong dream" for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guillermo del Toro, who alongside Christopher Nolan (man, I wish he would do one of these articles too!) is the most exciting director in the business today has his next nine years of directing all sewn up according to Variety.

This is what we can look forward to from the talented Mexican maestro...

For the next four years, two movies based on The Hobbit and bridging the gap between Tolkien's first novel and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.



"No one expected ‘The Hobbit’ to come about; it was the most marvelous monkey wrench tossed into my life,"

While we are on the subject of The Hobbit, Variety have revealed that del Toro is not in New Zealand with Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh for most of the writing stages of the film. He is only present for a short period of time every three weeks and does the rest of his consulting via video conferencing.
Then his next projects are likely to all be for Universal, the studio he has enjoyed a close relationship with since they agreed to finance his most personal and self indulgent (I don't mean that particularly as a cite) film to date, Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

		<description><![CDATA[If Guillermo del Toro ever gets to shoot the original early 90's draft of Frank Darabont's Frankenstein (which was heavily reworked and changed by Kenneth Branagh in 1994) then he plans to cast his frequent collaborator Doug Jones for the monstrous role.

It would appear that it's not only because he trusts Jones whole heartedly with his transformations into weird creatures or solely because he likes working with him but because the only vision of Frankenstein that del Toro has ever leeched onto is Berni Wrightson's tragic, lanky version of the character which would suit Jones down to the ground.


"I think he can do a fantastic job. Ron looks seven feet tall in Hellboy, but he's not. I think we could do that with Doug, but I would love to do it with him. The only vision of the Frankenstein monster I've ever latched onto is Berni Wrightson's. He's lanky and long and it's gorgeous in a tragic way. Doug has all of those qualities."
The 1983 released book of Wrightson's illustrated Frankenstein has been out of print for sometime but ironically and a complete coincidence in timing with del Toro's mention I assure you, a brand new hardcover edition of the ...]]></description>
