Up until now, the teasers for Guillermo del Toro's new fantasy film The Shape of Water have been pretty mysterious, but the movie's final trailer features lots of footage we haven't seen before.
There's a potential major SPOILER early in the trailer, so check it out at your own risk:
Beyond the obvious blood and swearing that we expect from red band trailers, we also get a closer look into the film's Cold War vibe. The footage also features a bloody Michael Shannon after his character pays a visit to the creature.
The movie has generated lots of festival buzz, and looks like another awe-inspiring entry in del Toro's filmography.
The Shape of Water is an other-worldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1963. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Hawkins) is trapped in a life of silence and isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment.
The Shape of Water hits theatres on December 8, and stars Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and Doug Jones.
