Slashfilm gives us this:
Del Toro says that his vision, which is in the earliest stages of pre-production, will not be a literal adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel, rather a permutation on the myth. "The only way to do the Shelley novel is to actually do a four-hour miniseries," he said. "But I think there permutations in which you can tell the myth in a different way." Say Del Toro.
I am really happy about this news because I truly respect Guillermo Del Toro as a director. He is one of the only directors out there that can master both mainstream films like Mimic, Hellboy, and Blade 2 and independent/festival favorite films such as 'Cronos' and 'The Devil's Backbone.'
Since last year's hit success of 'Pan's Labyrinth,' I think fans will not be furious to hear that he will direct a remake of this classic with his awe-inspiring vision.
I'm looking forward to hearing more news about this film and how different it will be from previous adaptations.
Your thoughts?
