Just came across an interview I'd like to share with you. It's with Mexican movie director Guillermo Del Toro (El Espinazo del Diablo, Cronos, Hellboy I and II, Pan's Labyrinth), Maestro of Fantasy. I enjoyed and was chilled to the bone with his Espinazo del Diablo (set in an orphanage/school towards the end of the Spanish Civil War) and fell in love (and cried my eyes out) with his fairy tale for adults Pan's Labyrinth (set just after the end of the Spanish Civil War). I have yet to see his other films, but these two were so original and captivating that I've got him on my list of "auteurs" to keep an eye out for whenever they've got a new project coming out. And considering one of his future projects is JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit... I'm very impatient!!!So here it is, he discusses some of his future projects and how he thinks movies will evolve (with a lot more participation by the public):

I just missed a mention of the third "Spanish" movie I had heard once upon a time he was supposed to do (a companion piece to the two mentioned above, sort of a loose trilogy on the effects of the Spanish Civil War). I hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of all the "Hollywood" projects! ;o)
