\n\tOn the heels of his Toronto<\/a> International Film Festival premiere of Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, Guillermo del Toro<\/a> announced a new gestating project called Fury, which will feature Isaac and is described as a \u201cviolent\u201d pic in the vein of a murderous My Dinner with Andre (1981).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m writing a project to do with Oscar,\u201d the director told the TIFF<\/a> audience. \u201cI\u2019m writing it right now, and it\u2019s called Fury, and essentially it\u2019s going back to [the] sort of thriller aspects of Nightmare Alley \u2014 very cruel, very violent. Like My Dinner with Andre but [with] killing people after each course.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, citing his reasoning for being drawn to the project: \u201cBecause I\u2019m very interested in the violence we do to each other, and we do it with our minds, we do it with our souls and we do it physically. And I think it\u2019s new questions [I\u2019m having]; I\u2019m 60 now, so I\u2019ve gone from asking where I\u2019m going and [being a] father and son to [experiencing] regret. I\u2019m in the regret decade, so expect a lot of regret.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, the three-time Oscar winner confirmed he will be adapting a fantasy novel written by the Nobel Prize-winning Kazuo Ishiguro, which Deadline exclusively announced<\/a> two years prior: \u201cI am, right now, preparing a stop-motion adaptation of The Buried Giant, the Kazuo Ishiguro novel. And it is going to be an epic stop-motion that is not going to be for kids. It\u2019s truly exploring the capacity to act, of a stop-motion project, and fuse a world the way you would do it if it was a live-action.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNaturally, this is not new territory for the Pinocchio filmmaker, with the tale of the transforming wooden puppet a decidedly not-for-children adaptation on which ShadowMachine\u2019s stop motion studio also served as the production\u2019s home base.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWith references to 1947\u2019s Nightmare Alley, a film noir brimming with deceit and tragedy, and My Dinner With Andre, which chronicles the bifurcation between two old pals who come together over dinner to discuss life philosophies and regrets, it\u2019s clear del Toro\u2019s forthcoming project will not be for the feint of heart.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrankenstein, which had its world premiere at Venice last month, will debut in select theaters Oct. 17 and Netflix Nov. 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the heels of his Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,17731,15896,3302],"class_list":{"0":"post-130966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-guillermo-del-toro","13":"tag-tiff","14":"tag-toronto"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
