Smaug’s front legs looked disproportionately small, like those of a T. rex. This would allow the dragon to assume a different aspect in closeup: the camera could capture “hand” gestures and facial expressions in one tight frame, avoiding the quivery distractions of wings and tail. (Smaug is a voluble, manipulative dragon; Tolkien describes him as having “an overwhelming personality.”) Smaug’s eyes, del Toro added, were “going to be sculpturally very hidden.” This would create a sense of drama when the thieving Bilbo stirs the beast from slumber. What I am interested in is the relationship between the concept of meditating on the doing— the making— the agenda setting, which becomes a kind of battle to get to the idea — the heart of the ideal that lies deeper in that proposition. Journals can become just that — to the etymological gestures noted above: lead, guide, moving, active — even siege and battlements crossed. While I’ve not worked with Guillermo Del Toro, I set that as an dream. I first heard of the journals of Mr. Del Toro in reading a British paper (for a story in LA) about how he left the design book for his production of “Pan’s Labyrinth”— an extraordinary venture of imagination — in a taxi. Guillermo del Toro wasn’t directing this movie. He was living it. And it was turning into a horror tale. I turned to a lateral image of the dragon. Smaug’s body, as del Toro had imagined it, was unusually long and thin. The bones of its wings were articulated on the dorsal side, giving the creature a slithery softness across its belly. “It’s a little bit more like a snake,” he said. I thought of his big Russian painting. Del Toro had written that the beast would alight “like a water bird.” Guillermo del Toro: No. This has been 31/2 years in planning. One day at the LACMA film series, they said, “We want to show one of your movies, do you have objects?”

El 22 de julio de 2010 se anunció en la Convención Internacional de Cómics de San Diego que estaba en desarrolló un nuevo filme basado en la atracción de Disneylandia The haunted mansion, con Guillermo del Toro involucrado en la escritura del guion y en su producción para Disney. El 7 de agosto de 2012, el realizador declaró al sitio Collider que coescribiría el guion pero que no dirigiría la película. [24 ]​ En junio de 2010 se anunció a Del Toro como guionista de una nueva historia de Van Helsing que podría haber producido para Universal y de la que se especulaba si se haría cargo de la dirección. [23 ]​ Even working with Tom Cruise, or director Tony Scott, JJ Abrams, David Fincher, I’ve often sorted through sketches of storyboards and related materials to finalize approaches for design.The Creature’s face was inspired, in part, by the graphic artist Bernie Wrightson, who, in 1983, published a stunning illustrated edition of “Frankenstein.” Four panels from the book hung in del Toro’s study at Bleak House. Wrightson’s Creature has been rudely cobbled together from several corpses, but he also has a lithe, sensual grace. It’s Michelangelo’s David, if Goliath had won.

Guillermo del Toro nació en Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, siendo hijo de la actriz Guadalupe Gómez, y de Federico del Toro Torres, un negociante de compra venta de automóviles usados, ambos de origen español. [2 ]​ Creció en un hogar estrictamente católico. [3 ]​ The aquarium look that he had spoken of at Lightstorm had clearly become a governing metaphor. “I wanted the whole city to be like an abandoned coral reef,” he said. He showed me an image of a cavernous interior space. Everything was tubular and encrusted with skeletal remains—abandoned tools. “A coral reef is a shitload of skeletons fused together, right? All the technology those creatures have, all their technology is organic. You and I use metals, plastics. These creatures don’t have weapons or chisels. They create other creatures as tools.” You see in Del Toro’s movies, from “Mimic” and “Cronos” to “Pan’s Labyrinth,” that he doesadore monsters. “I absolutely love them,” he said. “We are humans. We are pretty repulsive. We’ve invented a series of fantasies that we accept that are socially terrifying about geography, gender and race, accepted fictions by which we have managed to separate from each other.” Del Toro told me that the group was off to a great start, but he was eager to impose discipline. “I will ruin their lives,” he joked. “There is no rhythm, and everything is too busy.” For the first few days, del Toro wanted his “Madness” artists to draw without precepts. These men had been sketching Shoggoths since junior high school. What had Lovecraft made them see? “Lovecraft is actually really stringent about describing the Old Ones,” he noted. “And his design is really hard to solve, because they are essentially winged cucumbers.”The ribs arrived, and after one bite del Toro pushed them aside. “They must have changed management,” he said sadly. He had frequented the place while editing “Cronos” and “Blade II” at a studio in the Valley. El primer goya de Guillermo del Toro». López-Dóriga Digital . Consultado el 19 de noviembre de 2022.
