'Mormonized'? A.K.A. bland and boring? It's okay, you can go ahead and say it, Guillermo. It's an absolutely spot on description. *(I was raised Mormon and lived this insane lifestyle well into my 40's.)
Twilight vampires aren't really vampires in the folklore, but Fairy's (no insult): They live in the woods, they hunt animals, they seduce humans to play with them or making them harm, so based in the folklore they are literally Fairies, no vampires.
Im naming my first born son Guillermo after guy, God bless this man
His accent is thick but his English is fantastic.
this man is my GURU
This man did Blade 2 and The Strain so he knows what hes talking about in my opinion
I agree, theres nothing wrong with a vampire romance, as long as its done right, like with "Let me in", but "the Twilight series" has been messing up the clever idea and making it the dumbest romance ever written as well as a hated concept, damn it Stephanie Mayer, you even messed that idea up too!
my opinion, the most intelligent, creative, imaginative filmmaker in the film industry.
He should direct the live action Hellsing-like movie...XD
Guillermo - One of the most exciting filmmakers working today.
Yes, vampires have been reduced to being "cute, troubled boyfriends".
They're all James Dean Of The Dead.
This man is a genious.
In my opinion the best portrayal vampires ever received was Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark. They were grotty, fang-less, brutal trash that still carried the sensuality inherent in the vampire myth. They moved from place to place around the Oklahoma dustbowl killing at will, operating more or less how what amounts to a gang of killers would operate. Interestingly, their way of feeding, I.E. ripping your throat out with their teeth and lapping up the result, is part of the original myth.
Damn bleeping straight!
Gillermo Is the very BEST in his genre!!!
Stephanie Meyer really IS Mormon.
I thought so 2!!! He stays true to mythology while still putting his uniqueness on the movie....I hate how he doesn't direct movies often....I'm dying to see "Pacific Rim."
Vampires and werewolves and zombies, Oh my!
I wish this fad would end already! I want monsters, not lovesick, differently-challenged people! I can't be the only one, can I?
Rebuilt Gearbox
Rebuilt Gearbox vampire movie called salems lot is literally what you need
the tend he is talking about can work if done correctly but, most writers don't.
Vampires are just fictional characters and folklore serves as simultaneously a study of what people might have thought in the past and concepts to take/alter from for making more fiction. I'm an atheist and love reading folklore found in the cultures around the world. ^^ It is also interesting to think about the psychology behind what writers put into characters.
brilliant.
Guillermo = Genious
i read the first strain novel and to hear del toro talk about vampires beings "castrated" and "asexual" immediately reminds me of the fact that his vampire creations, as a byproduct of the changing process, lose their genitals
I dunno if it counts, but I thought The Walking Dead was a decent show about zombies. I watch TV like, never, so I've only seen an episode or two, but what I saw was pretty good.
When it comes to vampires, no one will quite do it better than the 1992 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
I agree about Hollywood, though. Its become too much of a product; it's always been a product but now it's this ugly media machine.
Im not in favor of vampires being sanitized. its moronic. damn Stephanie Myer to hell for ruining a monster that was supposed to symbolize the monster in us all...hate Twilight :(
Teri Steele watch salems lot
He laughs when he mentions robert pattinson from twightlight LOL cant point out that garbage that twightlight is without laughinh lol
The original Nosferatu was a silent film from the 20's, yes, but Werner Herzog made a remake in the 70's with Klaus Kinski as the vampire. Also, the "Bram Stoker's Dracula is from 1992 - not 99.
Rise of the Lycans shouldn't have existed. Underworld was never intended to be trilogized, but the first one did well enough that the producers were blinded by the dollar signs in their eyes.
That said, seriously, Nosferatu from like the 60s, and Bram Stoker's Dracula from 1999 are bar-none the best vampire flicks. Period.
im going to kill it with my work!! Thank you for this!!!
Animal blood in case of the Cullen, another point to the fairy folklore.
@FilmD21 I think he said "corny"
In the early days of Vampire cinema there was no seduction or sex appeal.
Look at Max Schreck.
Guys I know that no one will say but Guillermo is my WIFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Almost impossible to dream romantic thing without sounding horny" TRUE THAT!!!!! He is such a smart guy and a great film director. You can not just go wrong with these man!
English ancent?? No, I would say he has a combination of a Mexican and Spanish accent..
how is eren or who ever got historia preganant theres no scenes or historia remembering so it can't be possible.
Someone asked me why zombies and sparkly vampires have gotten so popular lately. I offered them my personal theory.
(1) Stephanie Meyer's sparkly "defanged" vampires explode in popularity (with teenaged girls)
(2) Everyone who is NOT a teenage girl despises Meyer's "defanged" vampires, and longs for a time when monsters just wanted to eat people.
(3) Zombies are the ultimate answer to Twilight vampires: they are their polar opposite. Zombies don't want to seduce the living; they want BRAAAINS.
PACIFIC RIM
I'm from the future, it gets a sequel.
@fallsor Oh yeah, you're right! Either way...IT'S TRUE! :)
All we need is 6 more likes currently!
So no one told him, before the interview that he looks like Milton fro Office Space?
😍
Great! del Toro is a MASTER 👏
