[Movies] Del Toro To Direct New Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Films
Posted by Ashish on 09.04.2008

From The Hobbit to classic monsters...

Guillermo Del Toro really plans to stay busy for the next 10 years. He is set to direct new versions of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde after he directs The Hobbit and its untitled sequel.

He is also set to direct a film version of Kurt Vonnegut's WWII novel Slaughterhouse-Five and an adaptation of Dan Simmons' Drood, a gothic horror about the possibility that author Charles Dickens led a dark double life.

Lot of stuff coming up from Del Toro...

"He is also set to direct a film version of Kurt Vonnegut's WWII novel Slaughterhouse-Five "

We already a film adaption of it (released in the 70's). No need for another one.
