Guillermo Del Toro, and the faun from Pan's Labyrinth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pan’s Labyrinth<\/em> and Hellboy<\/em> director (and SciFiNow favourite) Guillermo Del Toro<\/a> has announced he’ll be producing the forthcoming Day Of The Dead<\/em>, an animated horror story by Reel FX \u00a0and director\u00a0Jorge R Gutierrez (El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera<\/em>, Mad<\/em>).<\/p>\n

According to the press release, “The film is an action-packed, fully CG-animated picture, with a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ style love story set against a Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ backdrop. It represents the first time in almost twenty years – since 1993’s Cronos<\/em> – that Del Toro has collaborated on a feature project set in Mexico.<\/p>\n

“Music is also integral to the story; the film will feature an international roster of A-list recording artists performing new songs as well as re-imagined iconic songs.”<\/p>\n

Reel FX producer Brad Booker enthused, “We’re thrilled to have Guillermo on board for Day Of The Dead<\/em>. As individuals, Guillermo and Jorge share a cultural background and love for Mexican folklore, which brings a palpable authenticity to our project; however, as artists, each brings to the picture a vastly different aesthetic sensibility.<\/p>\n

“Working together for the first time, we feel that they bring a truly unique balance to the style and story of the film.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
