New 'Frankenstein' will be no horror flick, Del Toro says
Triple Oscar winning director Guillermo del Toro said his new version of "Frankenstein" will not be a horror film, but will instead pack a high-voltage emotional punch.
The Mexican director of "Hellboy" and "The Shape of Water" said the new movie would not be a creature feature but one with real heart.
"I'm not making a horror movie, never," he told an event at the Cannes film festival Sunday. "For me, it's an incredibly emotional film, as personal as everything else I've done... It's about being a father, being a son."
"I believe emotion is the new punk," Del Toro added, saying that "people don't take risks like we do" and that there was no shame in "being extremely emotional".
The Netflix drama starring "Saltburn" heartthrob Jacob Elordi is to be released in December.
Del Toro was speaking during a conversation with the French composer Alexandre Desplat at the festival.
They have worked together on several occasions, including "The Shape of Water" in 2017, for which they both won Oscars -- Del Toro for directing and Desplat for the soundtrack.
