Guillermo
del Toro recently went on Twitter to vent and list the massive amount of time
‘lost’ on film and television projects that he spent developing and writing but
didn’t get the green light for. The projects include: At the Mountains of
Madness, Beauty and the Beast, The Buried Giant, The Coffin, The Count of Monte
Cristo, Drood, Fantastic Voyage, Haunted Mansion, The Hulk (TV pilot), Justice
League Dark, List of 7, Mephisto’s Bridge, Nightmare Alley, Pacific Rim 2 (a
‘very different’ version), Superstitious, Wind in the Willows and The Witches.
He went on to explain that each of the projects has a completed script at the
very least and adds: "each script takes about a year, so more than a decade of
work lost (in the case of Mountains, much more, since we scouted and designed
etc)." His next project is Pinocchio for Netflix. |
