Guillermo del Toro Plans Violent Thriller, Stop-Motion Films with Oscar Isaac

Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro, currently promoting his Gothic horror film Frankenstein at the Toronto International Film Festival, announced two upcoming projects. He revealed a new collaboration with Frankenstein star Oscar Isaac titled Fury, described as a hyper-violent crime thriller reminiscent of My Dinner with Andre but with guests killed after each course. Del Toro explained that Fury will explore the different forms of violence we inflict on each other mentally, emotionally, and physically, marking the start of his 'regret decade.' Additionally, he is co-writing a stop-motion adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's fantasy novel The Buried Giant, which is being developed for Netflix and is intended as an epic, mature stop-motion project. Frankenstein, starring Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, will be released in select theaters before streaming on Netflix in November. These projects reflect del Toro’s continued interest in dark, complex themes and his ongoing creative partnership with Isaac.
