Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein
Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival (via Variety), Guillermo del Toro stated his upcoming Frankenstein project is “not a horror movie.”
Somebody asked me the other day, does it have really scary scenes? For the first time, I considered that. It’s an emotional story for me. It’s as personal as anything. I’m asking a question about being a father, being a son… I’m not doing a horror movie — ever. I’m not trying to do that.
We’re finding the emotion. And what I can say is, for me, it’s an incredibly emotional movie.
