Guillermo Del Toro To Never Direct Sleepless In Seattle Sequel?

We can all rest easy. Turns out all of those Internet rumors were true: Hellboy 2 director Guillermo del Toro is not a fan of weepy rom-coms and will never ever direct a movie starring Meg Ryan or rabid Manhattan cougars. Page Six got the scoop of scoops by way of an interview in Complex magazine...

"No way. Sleepless in Seattle can go f*** itself," Guillermo Del Toro said. "Monsters are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. I have no interest in everyday life, except through a twisted mirror."

Slashfilm tracked down Everyday Life in its mundane cubicle on Friday for a comment and this is what it had to say...

"Listen, I know I'm lame. If Guillermo has a problem with me, it's understandable. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's only one Almond Joy left in the office snack machine, and I want snag it for later. Congratulations on the superlative mention in Vanity Fair by the way. [incoherent mumbling]"

So, we guess that settles it. Shocked? Wouldn't it be cool to see the director of Pan's Labyrinth redo You've Got Mailas a deranged horror fantasy?

Discuss: Uh oh, there's an unrelated Tarsem vs Guillermo del Toro fight over visionary-dom going down in the comments.
