With
Pacific Rim just around the corner to be released, Guillermo del Toro is
already thinking about his next and very different project, Crimson Peak, a
ghost story set in England. In
Crimson Peak del Toro is returning to his origins, with haunting house story
co-written by him, Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon.
In
an interview to STYD, Guillermo del Toro makes it sound that Crimson Peak will
follow the lines of The Shinning, and that this will be his first ever horro
R-rated movie in English so people that never saw his Spanish works like The
Devil’s Back Bone, Cronos or Pan’s Labyrinth should watch them first before
seeing Crimson Peak, so they don’t strange the change in direction.
“Crimson
Peak is a much, much, much smaller movie, completely
character-driven. It’s an adult movie, an R-rated movie, pretty adult.
Shockingly different from anything I’ve done in the English language.
Normally, when I go to do a movie in America for the spectacle and younger
audience, for Blade or whatever. This movie’s tone is scary and it’s the first
time I get to do a movie more akin to what I do in the Spanish movies.”
He
continued by saying that;
“[Crimson
Peak] has moments that are very visceral, physical violence. You’re in
this sort of sedate romance and then there is this brutal moment where you’re
like, “Whoa!” And it has a lot of kinky moments. The only kinky
moment I’ve ever shot is the leg f**k in The Devil’s Backbone. [laughs]
This has a little more kinkiness than that.”
Crimson Peak will count with Benedict Cumberbatch,
Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska. The film is set in England as we said
earlier, but more specifically in Cumbria, a rural and mountainous in the north
of England that makes border with Scotland.
Regarding the actual House del Toro says that they
are building;
“The
house is looking great. We started scouting two months ago and are deep into
the design and it looks fabulous. Obviously, I’m going to buy a lot of
the props.”
