fucking mouthful
Within the framework of the Annecy festival, the Mexican filmmaker has revealed that five of his recent projects have been rejected by different companies in the last two months, and he has not hesitated to criticize the industry; labeling it as “a machine to produce shit and destroy your art”. This is how she explained it, as collected by The Hollywood Reporter.
“They still tell me no. In the last two months, they’ve said no to five of my projects. So it doesn’t go away. Making movies is like eating a shitty sandwich. There’s always shit, just sometimes you get a little more of bread”.
The rate of productivity compared to your efforts will continue to be frustratingly difficult and frustratingly long. And you will always run into morons. But have faith in the stories you want to tell and wait until someone wants to buy them.”
In addition, the triple Oscar winner for ‘The Shape of Water’ —best direction and best film— and his “Pinocchio” —best animated film— has expressed his intention to spend the rest of his behind-the-scenes career in animation once I shot the odd project in real action.
“There are a couple of live-action movies I want to do, but not many. After that, I just want to do animation. That’s the plan.
Animation to me is the purest form of art, and it’s been hijacked by a bunch of thugs. We have to rescue her. I think we can introduce a lot of good things to the world of animation like Trojan horses. I think you can make an adult fantasy drama with stop-motion and move people. I think stop-motion can be intravenous, it can get directly into your emotions in a way that no other medium can.”
At the moment, we know that Guillermo del Toro already works in ‘The Buried Giant’, the animated adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel for Netflix. In addition, he has his own bedroom in the bedroom ‘dr. Frankenstein’ with Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth and Andrew Garfield, as well as the second part of ‘Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark’, which will once again feature his role as screenwriter and producer.
