With its critical success and Oscar wins for Best Picture and Best Director, Guillermo del Toro's THE SHAPE OF WATER elevated the art of the horror genre in the eyes of moviegoers worldwide and positioned the director as a type of pop culture priest, an oracle of the monstrous creating horrific narratives that help us identify and empathize with humanity in these troubled times.
Following the critical, Academy Awards and box-office success of THE SHAPE OF WATER, Guillermo del Toro has pacted to write, direct and/or produce more live-action features for Fox Searchlight Pictures, and the first of the latter has been revealed.
The hideous behemoths known as Kaiju are mounting another attack on Earth, and the human-made robotic warriors known as Jaegers may or may not be ready for them in PACIFIC RIM UPRISING, the sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s monster epic. RUE MORGUE got an exclusive sit-down with Steven S. DeKnight, who assumed the director’s chair on UPRISING.
RUE MORGUE is thrilled that a veteran of the genre and a newcomer to horror brought home the gold for fear and the fantastique at the 90th Academy Awards last night.
PRINTED IN BLOOD announces an artbook project based on the Spanish language films of GUILLERMO DEL TORO.
