PLEASE hurry up and do The Witches!!!


It would be fantastic if he would get on with Roald Dahl's The Witches next! What do you guys think?

What happened with this? I really hate reboots but I would love to see this, especially if he and Cuaron are attached to it!

I agree. I recall that GDT talked about doing an adaptation of "The Witches" way back in 2010. A few years later, he stated that he had written a script and that Roald Dahl's daughter really liked it, but for whatever reason, Warner Bros. has not moved on the project.

Of all of his projects, I want this one to be adapted more than any other. The original film scared the hell out of me as a child and I think GDT could finally do justice to the original novel.

We can only hope at this point.

I think it would be genius.

It's not getting made. Recently listened to Del Toro on a podcast and he said that he felt The Witches was one of the two best scripts he's ever written. But WB decided not to move forward with production.
