Guillermo del Toro Chooses 'Crimson Peak' As His Next Film

Its hard to believe that its been five years since Guillermo del Toro's last directorial effort, but with 'Pacific Rim' ready for its July 12, 2013 release date. Guillermo del Toro has already chosen his next project, haunted house story 'Crimson Peak' through Legendary with serious potential for his longtime project 'At the Mountains of Madness' to finally see life on the big screen.

 'Crimson Peak' is written by Del Toro, Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon and Del Toro describes it to the outlet as, “a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules.”

Del Toro will also be busy on the small screen filming the pilot for 'The Strain,' based on his own book series with Chuck Hogan.
