Movies this guy should make!


Before reding any further. Please respect other peoples ideas. If you do not agree with them, then give proper arguments and not just say something like "You are the most stupid...", "You must be a troll, no good thinking human would say something like that" and so on.

With that being said, now let's get to business :D

When I watched "The Black Cauldron" by Disney, from 1985, recently, I was a bit let down. I think that it is a good movie, but it actually needed to be more dark, more brutal, and could have been improved in so many ways. For example, I think that it should not have been animated at all. And for the second if a new, non-animated movie would be made, that the horned king should NOT be CGI. CGI doesn't scare people as much as real masks.

Think about the orcs in LOTR and then in The Hobbit. The ones in masks really looked terrifying and like they could smell bad. But the CGI I think I could meet in real life.

SO, I really think that Guillermo could make a really badass Black Cauldron and Doug Jones could be a really creepy horned king.

(No, I haven't read the book, I've just seen the film. I will eventually read the book though but for the moment I am very busy reading three other books.)


So, your thoughts about this? AND what movies do YOU think he should make?

I heard he wanted to adapt Naoki Urasawa's Monster for tv. I'd die for that. lol

I really want him to do a movie based on The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

Actually I would love to see Guillermo del Toro remake The Black Cauldron. It would be awesome to see his style in the story.

I think he should have made The Hobbit and Godzilla.

He's a bit like Soderbergh in the way that he's able to make mainstream movies for the masses as well as more personal indie films...personally I think he's good at what he does within both cinematic realms.

The Shadow of the Wind. This book was made for him to film.
