GUILLERMO DEL TORO

ON RECEIVING HIS STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME

IS GUILLERMO DEL TORO EVER not in pre-production? The Oscar-winning director-writer-producer has seemingly lived in a constant state of development for the entirety of his nearly three- decade career, with his boundless, at times unsustainable, ambition being just as essential to his career as his inimitable eye for creature design, his reservoirs of genre film knowledge, and his ability to balance grotesque horror with Catholic mythology and righteous humanism. After all, it’s not every director whose list of unrealized projects is extensive enough to have its own Wikipedia page.
