Vor einiger Zeit gingen die Skizzen von Regisseur Guillermo del Toro durch die Blogosphäre. Darunter auch allerlei Zeichnungen für sein gescheitertes Lovecraft-Projekt At The Mountains Of Madness.
Ein ganzes Album voller Bilder findest Du hier. Doch all das waren nur Teaser für das wahre Ding. Pünktlich zu Halloween kommt das Teil nämlich in den Buchhandel. Das Vorwort zu Guillermo del Toro Cabinet of Curiosities: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions
“Over the last two decades, writer-director Guillermo del Toro has mapped out a territory in the popular imagination that is uniquely his own, astonishing audiences with Cronos, Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth, and a host of other films and creative endeavors. Now, for the first time, del Toro reveals the inspirations behind his signature artistic motifs, sharing the contents of his personal notebooks, collections, and other obsessions. The result is a startling, intimate glimpse into the life and mind of one of the world’s most creative visionaries. Complete with running commentary, interview text, and annotations that contextualize the ample visual material, this deluxe compendium is every bit as inspired as del Toro is himself.”
