Oh Guillermo. How I love you and your lush, gorgeous and twisted vision though admittedly, not enough to shell out $35 dollars for that new book of yours, “The Strain”, that’s burning up the best sellers list. It’s not that I don’t want to read it but these hardcovers are a rip unless they’re bought on discount and frankly, I’ve got enough to read until the price comes down but that doesn’t mean that I’m not curious about the project – or anything else you may be working on.
Guillermo del Toro was recently interviewed on CBC’s “Q” with Jian Ghomeshi and in the interview, which is approximately 15 minutes long, del Toro talks about the new book, his passion for horror, his “man cave” (which sounds awesome by the way) and the currently in production The Hobbit, touching a little on the decision to adapt the story in two films.
It’s a great little interview and you don’t have to go far to hear it, I’ve enclosed it below for your listening pleasure. And worry not, the show may be 50 minutes long but del Toro’s interview is the first on the docket (though the discussion of the current “Harlequin Cover Art Exhibition” in NY is pretty interesting too).
Is that a recent picture of del Toro, Marina? Looks like the guy has really slimmed down. Peter Jackson has taken him under his wing (and his juice diet?)
Myself, as excited as I am about The Hobbit, I am really hoping there will be a Hellboy 3. Supposedly Hellboy will battle an Archangel who had been captured and brainwashed by the Nazis during WWII. That sounds way cool to me.
