We just saw the first footage from Guillermo del Toro ’s next film , Crimson Peak . And ground on that first glimpse , this movie could really be his most lovely and disturbing film yet , thanks to insane imagination and wads of atmosphere . And del Toro may still get to make Hellboy 3 or Mountains of Madness !
The Crimson Peak trailer , not surprisingly , is drowning in blood . The studio labels and the moving picture ’s logo are stained with blood , and blood register up in other stead as well . The old scary house where the film ’s action contract place is have heavily , starting with an ancient doorknob turning and a door squeaking open clamorously . We see dying flies flip on a wooden Earth’s surface , and then go down spooky hall . Mia Wasikowska is guard a knife , looking terrified , while Jessica Chastain stare at some beat leave on top of a bier .
And Tom Hiddleston ’s voiceover say that a theater as honest-to-god as this one becomes a living thing . “ It may have timber for pearl and windows for eyes , and sitting here all alone it can go lento mad . ” The house starts hold onto thing , keep them alive when they should be dead . “ Some of them ripe , some bad . And some should never be spoken about again . ”
And we catch a picture of the willowy human body of Hiddleston in a fancy black outfit , standing silhouetted in a big window , against dispirited light .
There ’s a uncanny ornate sculpture , which turns out to be a flaming masque — and then the tv camera pulls back , and it ’s part of an flowery kinsperson crest .
Someone observe slay the same note over and over again on a piano , as the tension ratchets up , and we see Charlie Hunnam in evening formal wear , and someone is escape down stairs and muff out candle . We get word creepy-crawly whisper as people move through twist - of - the - century British society in eveningwear .
And then we see Mia Waskiowska curled up in bed in a nightgown , shivering with scourge … and a long - fingered bootleg hand amount down and touches her .
The only panellist for this film was del Toro himself , who explain why he ’s back to horror :
“ I wanted to make a movie that was able-bodied to blend two sides of my personality . After I did Mimic … Mimic was such a tough experience that I said , “ I ’m going to do the painfully beautiful and creepy-crawly things in my Spanish - linguistic process firlms , and I ’m going to do the big sort of soda - pulp magazine fun movies in English . ”
But after he had such a great experience on Pacific Rim , he found that Universal had acquired this project which was “ very dear to me , ” says del Toro . “ It ’s a gothic romance , and it was very fragile , and I call up , ‘ No , I ’m going to just grow it , I can not risk it ’ . ” But then they told him that it could be a violent radius - rated moving-picture show , and he decided “ it was a prefect way to return to the genre . ”
Del Toro boasted this was the “ dependable cast I ’ve ever had . Those are my special effect . ”
“ I wanted to tackle a great grownup story for a distaff lead , ” says del Toro . “ I think it ’s neat when the distaff lead [ is in ] a normal romantic floor , but then we populate past that . Past getting the guy rope — lie with all that shit — we see her becoming her own person . We do what is done in mediaeval romance . We have the thriller aspect of it , we have the romance , brutal minute , and we have scary ghosts — but scary multitude than ghosts . It ’s a beautiful sweet , and I trust you enjoy it . ”
At the end of the venire , del Toro gets the audience to cheer if they want to see him make Hellboy 3 and At The Mountains of Madness , so the studio can hear . To which Legendary ’s Thomas Tull afterward responds that after del Toro finishes directing Pacific Rim subsequence , “ We ’ll talk . ”
