On Tuesday, Fox Searchlight announced that they’ve inked a brand new deal with del Toro.
After years of making stunning and audacious genre features, Guillermo del Toro finally secure himself a much-deserved Oscar last month.
In the press release, del Toro said of the deal, “For the longest time, I’ve hoped to find an environment in which I can distribute, nurture and produce new voices in smart, inventive genre films and channel my own.”
Even better, Fox Searchlight is also founding a new label with the Pan’s Labyrinth filmmaker, one that will serve as a home for horror, sci-fi and fantasy projects produced and curated by del Toro.
