Universal ’s Dark Universe looks to be dead in the pitch-black lagune , and The Shape of Water managing director Guillermo del Toro might have it away why .
In an interview withScreenRant , del Toro was asked why it ’s so laborious for the most late monster movie reboots to succeed like their 20th century counterparts . Del Toro would know better than anyone , as The Shape of Water is one of the most genuine monster film of the past tenner . He believes there ’s too much stress on dissecting the genre , with directors trying , and largely fail , to circumvent the genre ’s common tropes rather than stepping back and create an pleasurable scary movie .
I think that there is a postmodern mental attitude towards the genre that essay to unarm or break apart the musical style in a postmodern fashion and I cerebrate that when you approach characters with solemn love , it ’s a passel less secure because you ’re not above the material . You are in high spirits on your own supply and it ’s easier to be ironic , so I think that ’s part of it .
This come on the heels of del Toro unwrap he had the luck to “ take over the Monster Universe ” back in 2007 , but chose not to do it — something he still rue to this 24-hour interval . It ’s unfortunate , as it looks like Universal ’s latest venture back into its own monster picture show dealership was killed before it could really start , following Tom Cruise ’s unsatisfying The Mummy . That say , del Toro did append that there are some directors approaching monster repulsion in way that input on the genre while not treating it like a hurdle to overcome .
“ You have ambivalent things , like Jordan Peele nailing it [ with Get Out ] and make it not ironical , but self-referent . And he ’s a fusion of reverence and intelligence information , ” del Toro added .
