Interview: Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro

“Director Guillermo del Toro has long been a fan favorite among genre movie lovers, maybe because it’s so obvious from watching his movies that he’s a fan of comic books, horror and fantasy himself. After a few failed films during the ’90s, he finally made a mark with his period ghost film The Devil’s Backbone in 2002, for which he got a lot of attention almost simultaneously with his stylish action sequel Blade II. At the same time, del Toro had been working to develop Hellboy, a movie based on Mike Mignola’s popular comic book character, which also found success in 2004 and solidified his place in the hearts of comic book and action movie fans.”
