Guillermo del Toro tells IESB that he would love to do a new Frankenstein film. Del toro apparently is interested in doing a revamp of the classic Universal Monster, possibly even using some ideas from Frank Darabont’s early 90’s script.
Sure, there is no deal on the table right now, and del Toro’s immediate future plate is looking kind of full, but I’m sure if the opportunity came up, Guillermo would make it work. If Pan’s Labyrinth is any indication of what he could do with a dark period fantasy tale, than a new Frankenstein could be great. Is anyone at Universal reading this? Get going on this one pronto!

Del Toro is extremly talented but really needs to branch out. I wonder if he’s ever considered doing a film without a frickin monster in it.

A while ago I had the pleasure of seeing development materials from the canned digital feature ILM was making with Universal as a backer. All of it was amazing, and I’d love to see it fully realized, though I know del Toro’s film would be something completely different.
