Grateful and excited to learn from @theblcklst that my mystery/thriller, BLACKWIND RUN, received an overall score of 8!
Here’s to many more 8s to come ✍🏻🙏🏻
seriously can’t stop thinking about frankenstein man. just an absolute dream for fans of the book - with so many scenes so perfectly translated to film exactly the way i imagined them that i couldn’t believe what i was watching - and achingly earnest the way only del toro can do.
John Williams is confirmed to be scoring Steven Spielberg’s upcoming UFO film. 🎶
Starring Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth and Josh O’Connor.
Releasing in theaters on June 12, 2026.
Second viewing (in 35mm) really solidified my thoughts on Frankenstein. It’s amazing.
Victor’s disapproval of the creature, his abuse of it, and his own personal disgust that such a vile unintelligent thing could be associated with him. Mirrored by the creature’s longing for connection and eagerness to forgive so he doesn’t have to feel hate inside.
It really is the story Guillermo del Toro was born to adapt.
Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN script will be published as a hardcover book on November 25 via @insighteditions.
It includes a foreword by @RealGDT along with concept art, film stills, and behind-the-scenes photography.
FRANKENSTEIN may be Guillermo del Toro’s magnum opus. A gothic fairy tale divided into two distinct, yet equally enchanting halves. It takes real craft to make this story feel fresh after innumerable adaptations and reinventions, but del Toro does so with flair and heart. The film takes liberties with Mary Shelley’s text that somehow enrich the timeless themes, rather than dilute their meaning. To see the words and story of Shelley, arguably one of greatest authors of all time, fuse with the singular style and poetry of filmmaking possessed by del Toro, arguably one of the best directors working today, creates an unforgettable viewing experience. Oscar Isaac brilliantly portrays the drive and descent into immorality of Victor Frankenstein. Jacob Elordi delivers his best performance to date, ushering in profound emotion in the film’s second half and evoking Rory Kinnear’s performance as The Creature from Penny Dreadful. David Bradley also shines in a small, yet pivotal and touching role. A cinematic triumph and a huge win for @netflix and @RealGDT.

Timothée Chalamet & my guy James Mangold are reuniting again for an upcoming heist thriller titled “High Side”. You guys know how much I love Mangold- he’s made some of my favorite films. The last time he worked with Chalamet, they knocked it out of the park. A promising duo.
Prisoners is a movie I specifically rewatch every autumn. I saw this in theaters with my college roommate back in September of 2013 & it just feels appropriate to watch this as Halloween approaches. I’ll probably rewatch this masterpiece once every autumn for the rest of my life.
