Del Toro talks The Orphanage

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

Juan Antonio Bayona’s debut film THE ORPHANAGE, produced and presented by Guillermo Del Toro hits theaters limited this week, December 28th to be exact. For those lucky enough to be in an area that’s showing the film, I can’t stress it enough that you go see it.

ShockTillYouDrop.com has an exclusive interview with Guillermo Del Toro, who talks about producing duties with this Spanish film and the American remake that will slap us in the faces soon enough. So heres a little taste of what Del Toro had to say:

Producing is like dating and presenting is like marriage. No matter what disagreements might happen down the line, the kid is going to carry your name the rest of its life, and the reality of the commitment, which always seems easy in retrospect, it’s a huge commitment when there’s no movie. When you have a screenplay and a director, who knows what can come out of those–sometimes good, sometimes bad–and this was the first time I committed to presenting a movie because I felt that it was that sure of a bet. My presentation credit was committed to in pre-production and it was non-conditional, which meant if the movie came out and it was an absolute revolting piece of crap, I would have still had to have “Guillermo del Toro Presents.” And that’s how much I believed in the project.

I love the dedication and love that Del Toro puts forth into everything he does. You don’t really see that mcuh anymore, and it’s sad. But at least I can expect it from his films and films that he’s proudly put his name on. Anyways, if you wanna check out the interview, click here.
