Guillermo del Toro isn't content enough to sit back on his Pan's Labyrinth earnings and let Hellboy 2: The Golden Army just ride the coattails of the original film into the box office. He's rumbling about a new television version of the mad scientist classic Frankentstein. "The only way to do the Shelley novel is to actually do a four-hour miniseries," said Del Toro, which is probably the smartest comment we've ever heard about adopting this book into a project. We say, you go, Guillermo. We know you could easily trump that Kenneth Branagh / Robert De Niro version. [MTV Movie Blog]

Oooh! Someone dig up Peter Boyle, the casting would be PERFECT!
Please let this die in development hell.
Now if he wants to adapt more lovecraft goodies? I'm all in.
Eh, the only way to do the Shelley novel is to get Jan Svankmajer to do it, but Del Toro might be interesting...
Ummm, it has already been done as a mini-series. Starred, interestingly enough, Randy Quaid as the monster - and even more interesting - he did a really good job of it.
Oh man, movie news just gets better and better. If he does it for Spanish TV then he can start writing now. >>> Globalism! Orphanage is a fun faerie tale. Good stuff.
