10 Proposed Guillermo Del Toro Movies That We Really Hope Get Made

Due to his unique visual style and imagination, the films of Guillermo del Toro – including Spanish language horror Pan’s Labyrinth and superhero movie Hellboy – have garnered the man a legion of passionate fans. However, the Mexican-born director is still clearly viewed as a bit of a weird one within the industry. Perhaps this is because, out of all his films, only Pacific Rim has been a real box office success.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein isn’t short of adaptations – not least the pretty poor duo of I, Frankenstein and Victor Frankenstein over the last couple of years – but this doesn’t stop the idea of a Guillermo del Toro-headed version sounding amazing.

This is a self-confessed “dream project” of the director’s and he has said that, once he has time, he will take a three year break from all other work to get it right. In fact, he’s already cast his old collaborator Doug Jones as the creature. Sadly, as del Toro is a busy man, nothing has been happening on the Frankenstein front for a while.

Still, if we have patience, it may well happen eventually. After all, Universal plans to start a shared universe with its classic horror properties (e.g. Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolfman), so if del Toro’s film can blend with this – without compromising in quality – hopefully the project can come back from the dead.
