Guillermo del Toro Will Announce Next Project At Comic-Con

Guillermo del Toro Will Announce Next Project At Comic-Con

The writer/director has been attached to a multitude of projects. Looks like we'll have to wait just over a month to see what's next.

Since pulling away from The Hobbit, film sites have been working overtime trying to figure out what GDT is up to next. Just last week Pajiba reported he was working on a new Van Helsing project. On his website DelToroFilms, the director says we'll get an announcement soon on what he will be directing next.

Van Helsing (writing and producing) is still in talks and not quite certain. Even then, I would like to share my plans only at COMICON. I am taking it slowly and marking very, very carefully the calendar of projects that I will be involved as producer, writer, etc I will not announce the project I intend to direct until then . I am very happy to say that all the projects and partnerships being considered are both quite surprising and, I hope, powerful. Much as I want, I cannot say much more at this time but I anxiously await to share these with you. I will be shopping on the floor in San DIego for several days. See you there!!




Brent Sprecher, MultiPurposePoni and myself will be attending Comic-Con in San Diego this year for sure along with many users of the CBM army so we will be sure to keep you updated on this when it breaks. The pic above is my hope, even though it is probably slim. Would it be wrong to ask GDT to sign my chest if I run into him shopping on the SDCC floor?

hehe. But guys, GDT has never even been mentioned in any official/or rumored capacity in the same sentence as Dr Strange! He's just a name the fans would love to see..still, certainly would be a nice surprise!

Also, looks like they might have someone for The Hobbit..

If he announces Doctor Strange I will shit a brick. No, two bricks.

But then I'll be a little sad because then Hellboy 3 goes pretty much bye bye :_(

If he announces Dr. Strange I'm gonna open a carpet cleaning business.

But seriously, DR. STRANGE!

Alternatively, Mountains of Madness or some other Lovecraft story.

Watch him not announce Dr. Strange at Comic-Con. No but if he does, I will loose my shit.

Nah, Dr. Strange is too perfect and Marvel's probably been to busy to put this together. At this point I'm going to try not to get my hopes up and put off the purchase of those steam cleaners.

Fortunately, the man has yet to make a bad movie so what ever it is its good news.

I also just read the first three volumes of Mike Mignola's Hellboy, so that would be cool too to get a third installment.

Nah, gotta be one of these two, or both =



Hey, we can dream lol.

He can stick that new VAN HELSING CRAP where the sun don't shine though, if he does it! : P

Lee, Del Toro would make a Van Helsing move that was so good you wouldn't even remember that Sommers made one. You wouldn't even remember that Sommers EXISTED.

I really voting for Hellboy 3. Loved the first two films and would love to see his final chapter. Great characters he has developed and a great film series that will go down in histroy.

I would also love to hear more from him about his Frankenstein movie.

If he announces doctor strange the SDCC lost and found is gonna get messy.

Meh to Yates, I'd rather see Blomkamp take the reins of The Hobbit

If he announces Dr. Strange I'm gonna suggest he be played by Donald Glover just to stir up unnecessary racial tension. LMFAO!!!

I'm thinking Deadman, Hellboy 3 or possibly a first installment for his new "vampire" series The Strain.
