Guillermo Del Toro to start sticking his name on animated movies too
If it’s Monday, then Guillermo Del Toro has announced another film he plans to work on, and this time it’s Trollhunters, an animated project he plans to write and direct for DreamWorks. Trollhunters is based on a young-adult book of the same name that Del Toro submitted for publication about two weeks ago, popping out the horror-fantasy tale just as natural as breathin’ for most people. Where Trollhunters slots into Del Toro’s insanely busy schedule is still to be determined, but in the meantime he’s already making himself nice and inescapable at DreamWorks, serving as a consultant and executive producer on everything from Kung Fu Panda 2 to the Shrek spin-off Puss In Boots to Megamind—which is due for release in just over a month, but not before Del Toro exercises his privilege of primae noctis, apparently.
