If anyone could make a great Frankenstein movie, it would be him.

I agree 100%, the setting was as much of a character as anything else in Frankenstein...I would love to see what he would do with it.

Well, those that have read the novel know that the characters go everywhere, from Geneva to the barren wasteland on the Arctic for the glorious climax. I was hoping a faithful adaptation would finally be made, but whatever del Torro plans on doing is fine with me regardless. Hopefully he'll bring a lot of new elements to the table while still remaining faithful to the themes of the novel. I have no doubt that GdT will give us another great product to admire.

So we're getting a sequel to Dracula and Frankenstein? Sweet.

@Jerkofwonder: Actually, if we are speaking about the novel, then there couldn't be a sequel. (Spoilers, I guess) The creature at the end of the novel vows to destroy itself.

HOLY SHIT!!!.......i can't believe he's doing all these movies....i have always like his movies....minus king kong...i think he'll bring somnthing new and diff to the Frankenstein mytho....and the vampire trilogy..and the Fucking Hobbit!!...i think i'm gunna have a geekasm

Zobie17, no offense man but GdT had nothing to do with "King Kong".

Ok, in all fairness I can see how you can become mistaken, Peter Jackson (Dead Alive, Lord of the Rings, King Kong, Heavenly Creatures) does look a lot like Guillermo del Torro (Hellboy, The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth, Blade 2).

King Kong?? ...anyhow this news makes me hate the making of the hobbit even more. Del Torro is one of the most original directors of the moment and I truly think that making something as pre-baked as the Hobbit (surely they won't let him make it in his style, it obvious has to look like Lord of the Rings) is a true waste of his great talent. can't wait till 2012 when he can do al his own stuff again

Since del Toro reportedly admires Bernie Wrightson's atistic interpretations of the creature so much, then he would be wise to hire Wrightson on as a make-up design supervisor. Frank Darabont hired Wrightson to do design work for 'The Mist'. Wrightson's visual sensibilities would be ideal for a del Toro helmed 'Frankenstein' vehicle...

Del Toro will turn Frankenstein spanish.

Good Old Del Toro!

This is great news! I cannot wait for The Hobbit. I wonder what Vampire trilogy he is doing?

id rather see that vampire trilogy...im waiting for an awesome vampire film to come out sometime, and we all know that aint gonna be twilight

I'm not a big fan of remakes but I can tolerate a remake of a movie based off a book espeically a classic like Frankenstein or Dracula, both of which have been made thousands of times. I actually enjoyed Mary Shelly's Frankenstein too but hearing that it was supposed to be a different movie has me interested into knowing how different it would've been had they stuck to the Darabont script. I am excited to see where Del Toro takes Frankenstein.
