Guillermo del Toro's film Pan's Labyrinth is on it's way & I am excited, the teaser is up over at deltorofilms.com...this looks GOOD!

Chuck Mayer · Jan 19, 2006

I'm extremely interested in this film as well.

Claire Panke · Jan 19, 2006

Oh COOL! This is one I'm looking forward to seeing.

David_Blackwell · Jan 22, 2006

I'll see it, but I can't wait for Hellboy 2 to get made.

Andy Sheets · Jan 23, 2006

I liked Hellboy a great deal but I'm kind of ambivalent about seeing a sequel. I'm sure it'll be fine and I'll be happy to see it if it comes out, but Del Toro's one of those guys I prefer to see doing different things. I'm almost more eager to see him do Halo than Hellboy 2

Trailer is up at the official site:
www.panslabyrinth.com

Looks great, so far.

Paul_Scott · Sep 7, 2006

I haven't been able to see any of the trailers or concept/ad art for this yet- can someone clue me in as to what this movie's about?

John Doran · Sep 7, 2006

wow - hadn't even heard of this one until right now...

looks pretty interesting, though. i love del toro's visual style.

Andy Sheets · Sep 7, 2006

It's a "bookend" piece to Del Toro's The Devil's Backbone, set in Franco's Spain and following a young girl as she descends into a dark fantasy world.

Adam Lenhardt · Sep 7, 2006

I think it's spanish with subtitles, right?

JediFonger · Sep 7, 2006

whatif benecio&guillermo work together... it aint a REAL del toro film

Chuck Mayer · Sep 7, 2006

The film is in Spanish, so there will be no dialogue in any American ads. Don't want the anyone to think they might have to read

I'm very, very, very excited about this film

Cavan.B · Sep 7, 2006

Great looking trailer; creepy yet beautiful. I'll watch anything Del Toro makes for the visuals alone, but he's also a very cerebral filmmaker (just listen to a commentary of his). Hopefully this will have the modern allegories and emotional depth I've heard it has.

Looking forward to it.

Advanced reviews for this have been excellent. AICN had some awhiel ago and everyone loved what they saw.

Heres another glowing advanced review...

Boy, I forgot that I made this thread....MAN, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS FILM!!!!

Justin Hargis · Sep 9, 2006

This movie is going to rock.

Bill McA · Sep 10, 2006

Well, I saw this film earlier today and it was a huge disappointment.

An awkward mishmash of two different stories, neither of which really complimented each other, I found the film to be completely uninvolving from beginning to end.

I'd suggest lowering you expectations quite a bit!

Kevin M · Sep 11, 2006

Every last review at Rotten Tomatoes had been glowing, it has a 100% rating....odd.
In fact Ray Bennett over at Hollywood Reporter said:
....I will see it nonetheless and judge for myself, but I have high hopes in spite of myself (rather pessimistic at times).

JonZ · Sep 11, 2006

Bill,
Great looking sig pic

Bill McA · Sep 11, 2006

For what it's worth, my friend hated the film even more than I did and we're both fans of Cronos, Mimic and Devil's Backbone!

To be fair, many in the audience did enjoy the film and gave del Toro and his lead actress a standing ovation.
