The Fall

Guillermo del Toro at Comic-Con; Details on Where He Will Be – Plus del Toro Says Big Announcement After Comic-Con

A few weeks ago, I interviewed Guillermo del Toro backstage at the Saturn Awards for about 20 minutes after the show.  If you missed the interview, you really need to watch it, as del Toro went into detail about every project he’s attached to and he also revealed he planned on announcing a big project at Comic-Con which he will be writing, producing and maybe directing.  Cut to today.  On deltorofilms,  GDT told them:

I am preparing some big and surprising news but they will come right after COMICON but I will be there Thursday, July 23rd and 24th

So if you were hoping to find out what the big mystery project is that del Toro is attached to…it’s going to be a bit longer.  But if you’re going to Comic-Con, del Toro is still going and after the jump I’ve got the info on where he’ll be and when.

Tarsem Singh’s DAWN OF WAR In 3D? Yes, Please.

Tarsem Singh, best know for producing, writing, and directing the visually stimulating The Fall, has brought the $115-million Montreal-based production of the ancient Greece epic Dawn of War to a screeching halt, according to The Montreal Gazette (via The Playlist). The culprit should come as no surprise: 3D.

The producers are contemplating shooting the film in 3D, a move that would add roughly $15 million to the budget and possibly delay shooting, which was scheduled to begin this month. However, this isn’t your average studio film being thrown an extra dimension. Singh is known for his visuals, which was about the only redeeming quality of his first feature film, The Cell. With lots of special effects and an extra dimension, it should be interesting to see what Singh brings to the table if they move forward with 3D. Meanwhile, Henry Cavill of The Tudors fame is still set to star in the film, which Singh says he is bringing a contemporary style to.
