Guillermo del Toro is set to return with another animated film, a version of The Buried Giant, following the success of his previous film, Pinocchio. The video will be produced for Netflix as well. Guillermo del Toro is said to have recruited the help of stop-motion animation company ShadowMachine for The Buried Giant, just as he did for Pinocchio. The Oscar-nominated version of Carlo Collodi’s children’s book has garnered much applause and critical acclaim for its visual style and storytelling abilities.
With the translation of Carlo Collodi’s book, the author of Cabinet of Curiosities makes his first attempt at stop-motion animation. Buried Giant should be similar to del Toro’s previous pictures in that it combines aspects of magical realism, creatures, and symbolic grandeur.
The screenplay for The Buried Giant is being written by Guillermo del Toro and Dennis Kelly.
While specifics about Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming project are still scarce, the director has revealed that he has begun work on the screenplay with Dennis Kelly. The picture will be based on British Nobel Prize-winning novelist Kazuo Ishiguro’s great book of the same name. The novel’s plot revolves around an old British couple, Axl and Beatrice, who live in a fictional post-Arthurian England where no one can retain long-term memories. The couple set out to find their child after thinking they might have it.
Given del Toro’s distinctive spin on the tale, it should be an entertaining picture. In a recent review of the picture, the filmmaker stated:
“The Buried Giant continues my animation collaboration with Netflix and our pursuit of stop-motion as a way to convey complex stories and create infinite worlds. It is a great honor and responsibility for me to direct this script that Dennis Kelly and I translated from Kazuo Ishiguro’s profound and creative book.”
Scott Stuber, Netflix’s Head of Cinema, added:
“Guillermo del Toro is a maestro of his art and a creative director. We couldn’t be happier with the prestigious award for his Pinocchio, and we’re excited to continue our artistic collaboration as he creates his next project with Netflix.”
Pinocchio, led by del Toro and Mark Gustafson, became one of the most famous pictures of 2022, receiving worldwide acclaim and Academy praise. Del Toro had already won the BAFTA for best cartoon picture a few days earlier. It was also a top ten picture in nearly 100 countries. The reaction reflects Netflix’s longtime collaboration with Guillermo del Toro. More information about The Buried Behemoth will be released soon.
