Guillermo del Toro Talks THE HOBBIT, HELLBOY 3, FRANKENSTEIN, AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, SATURN AND THE END OF DAYS from ColliderVideos on Vimeo.
Its a long interview, so here are some of the highlights.
Hellboy 3 will only happen after his next project, he says the screen plays are very difficult to finish for Hellboy movies.
He doesn't say what that next project will be, but he says he wants to make something a bit smaller this time. Says he has narrowed his list of projects he might do to 3 and they all have scripts much further along. Says the script he really wants to do he started 15 years ago!
He said that leaving The Hobbit was "the hardest decision he has made", and when asked if MGM sorted out their troubles, would it be a possibility he would get back on board, he said "it hurts me to even speculate".
Says that a Death movie still very much holds his interest, but both he and the other potential producers are convinced that the only director should be Neil Gaimen.
Says he’s promoting Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark at Comic Con. They are definitely announcing a project there that he will be writing, producing and maybe directing. Says he is at Comic-Con for 3 days to do some shopping.
He says that since he has come home from New Zealand, he has been approached to direct a lot of projects by various studios. He doesn't say anything specific, but reveals that there is "a lot of neat stuff cooking", and a lot of the films would be "geekgasms for everyone".
There is a lot more, mostly just funny asides and tid bits. I recommend you watch the full interview as Del Toro is as hilarious and cool as ever.
