Guillermo del Toro Deluxe Hardcover Sketchbook

I turned to a lateral image of the dragon. Smaug’s body, as del Toro had imagined it, was unusually long and thin. The bones of its wings were articulated on the dorsal side, giving the creature a slithery softness across its belly. “It’s a little bit more like a snake,” he said. I thought of his big Russian painting. Del Toro had written that the beast would alight “like a water bird.” Meseguer, Astrid (16 de octubre de 2022).

Del Toro had been raised Catholic, but this sight, he said, upended his faith. Humans could not possibly have souls; even the most blameless lives ended as rotting garbage. He became a “raging atheist.” Guadalajara was a rough place, and he recalled his childhood as a slide show of harrowing images: the decapitated body of a teen-age boy, found by a barbed-wire fence; a crashed motorist aflame inside his VW Beetle. Del Toro said, “People tell me, ‘Oh, you must love forensic photos.’ But I can’t stand the sight of real pain or blood.” Illustrated with stunning visuals, this deluxe volume follows the remarkable creative journey that brought Pinocchio to the screen, from del Toro’s early ideas for the adaptation, through to character design, puppet building, and the meticulous animation process,” reads a press release. “Featuring interviews with del Toro and a wide range of the film’s key creatives, this is the definitive story behind the birth of a brand-new Pinocchio.”

The meeting at Universal, he said, was at ten-thirty: “I’ve never been this nervous going to a meeting. This invested.” He added, “There are certain rules to dating a movie. You try to fall in love when it’s a reality, and try not to be completely head over heels on the first date. But I’m hopelessly in love with the creatures.” Del Toro told me that the group was off to a great start, but he was eager to impose discipline. “I will ruin their lives,” he joked. “There is no rhythm, and everything is too busy.” Guillermo del Toro is a creative mastermind: he has directed films like "Pan's Labyrinth", "Hellboy", and "Pacific Rim". He is also co-author of "The Strain", a series of best-selling novels which have been adapted into a television show. It's well known among his fans that del Toro often carries a notebook so that he can write down or sketch out any ideas that come to him (sometimes this will later inspire a character design or a line of dialogue in one of his films). The sketches and the ideas in that misplaced journal — four years of notes on character design, ruminations about plot — were the foundation of “Pan’s Labyrinth,” a child’s fantasy set in the wake of the Spanish Civil War.

You see in Del Toro’s movies, from “Mimic” and “Cronos” to “Pan’s Labyrinth,” that he doesadore monsters. “I absolutely love them,” he said. “We are humans. We are pretty repulsive. We’ve invented a series of fantasies that we accept that are socially terrifying about geography, gender and race, accepted fictions by which we have managed to separate from each other.” Monsters are the patron saints of otherness,” Del Toro said. “When I was a child, I was raised Catholic. Somewhere I didn’t fit with the saints and holy men. I discovered the monsters—in Boris Karloff, I saw a beautiful innocent creature in a state of grace, sacrificed by sins he did not commit. I saw a martyr in the Wolf Man, who is the very moving essence of outsiderness, with which I identified fully. Those monsters did not pretend to be something else, they presented themselves in their essence and in an immediate way. There’s nothing more political than fantasy.” “At Home with Monsters” at LACMA Anne Thompson late 14c., from Old French acte, from L. actus“a doing” and actum“a thing done,” both from agere“to do, set in motion, drive, urge, chase, stir up,” from Proto Indo European root *ag-“to drive, draw out or forth, move” (cf. Greek agein“to lead, guide, drive, carry off,” agon“assembly, contest in the games,” agogos“leader;” Sanskrit ajati“drives,” ajirah“moving, active;” Old Norse aka“to drive;” Medieval Irish ag“battle”). Theatrical (1510s) and legislative (mid-15c.) senses of the word also were in Latin. The verb is first attested late 15c.; in the theatrical performance sense it is from 1590s.

Durante la Gamescom 2014 se dio a conocer al público una demostración titulada «P. T.» (siglas de "Playable Teaser"), la cual consistía en un pequeño juego de horror en primera persona donde el jugador debe resolver un acertijo sin ninguna clase de pista o instrucción específica dentro de una pequeña casa, la cual cambia ligeramente de escenarios y genera un ciclo de infinitos sótanos y pasillos hasta que el jugador pueda resolver el acertijo.

Guillermo del Toro es también amigo de Alfonso Cuarón y Alejandro González Iñárritu, otros dos directores mexicanos renombrados. Los tres influyen a veces en las decisiones de los demás en cuestiones de dirección, han sido entrevistados juntos por Charlie Rose y Cuarón fue uno de los productores de El laberinto del fauno con su compañía Esperanto Filmoj. Los tres fueron nominados a los Premios Óscar de 2006, celebrados en febrero de 2007: Del Toro fue nominado por El laberinto del fauno (que obtuvo seis nominaciones, incluyendo mejor película de habla no inglesa), Cuarón por escribir y editar Children of men e Iñárritu por producir y dirigir Babel. I met with del Toro in Los Angeles on the first day of preproduction. He had hired five artists to engage in ten weeks of “design promiscuity” at Lightstorm, James Cameron’s production company, which is in Santa Monica. Parts of “Avatar” had been designed in the same suite of offices. Corkboards were covered with constellations of silver pushpins; in an interior room, “Avatar” maquettes were still on display.

Yes,” del Toro said. “It needs to go beyond a good sculpture. You need to really believe.” He wanted fewer wrinkles across the face. “It has to convey being newborn.”At Home with Monsters” is unlike most such museum exhibits, because Del Toro’s taste travels high and low, from paintings and illustrations borrowed from the museum to pieces “inspired” by the likes of the James Whale movie “Frankenstein.” An entire section of the exhibit is devoted to Mary Shelley’s character. Asimismo, en 2012 se anunció que Marvel tenía en desarrollo una nueva serie de televisión de El increíble Hulk. Sin embargo, tras la buena recepción del personaje luego del estreno de The avengers, la productora retomó el plan para hacer una nueva película con el personaje de Bruce Banner interpretado por Mark Ruffalo por lo que el proyecto televisivo está en pausa. [27 ]​ The aquarium look that he had spoken of at Lightstorm had clearly become a governing metaphor. “I wanted the whole city to be like an abandoned coral reef,” he said. He showed me an image of a cavernous interior space. Everything was tubular and encrusted with skeletal remains—abandoned tools. “A coral reef is a shitload of skeletons fused together, right? All the technology those creatures have, all their technology is organic. You and I use metals, plastics. These creatures don’t have weapons or chisels. They create other creatures as tools.” At Lightstorm, del Toro met first with Callum Greene, a British producer. Greene warned him that, without discipline, his budget could easily exceed Universal’s limit of a hundred and twenty-five million dollars. Greene had identified thousands of moments in the script where special effects would be employed. The Creature’s face was inspired, in part, by the graphic artist Bernie Wrightson, who, in 1983, published a stunning illustrated edition of “Frankenstein.” Four panels from the book hung in del Toro’s study at Bleak House. Wrightson’s Creature has been rudely cobbled together from several corpses, but he also has a lithe, sensual grace. It’s Michelangelo’s David, if Goliath had won.

Pasó diez años en diseño de maquillaje y formó su propia compañía, Necropia, antes de poder ser el productor ejecutivo de su primer filme, a los 21 años.

Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water: Creating a Fairy Tale for Troubled Times (2017), introducción al libro. That idea of art, exploration — seasonal or otherwise — it’s an intriguing path to the examination of content – if you’re on the path to finding something, discovering that renewed edge, walking the perimeter of the work — how do you get there? What’s the point of the effort taken, the journal / journey wandered. Going out there, I’m looking for what could be found, what could be discovered, beneath that surface.
