"Pan's Labyrinch", the 2006 film directed by Guillermo del Toro is soon to be transformed into a new musical. the film is about, "a young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer who finds refuge and terror in a fantasy world in 1944 Fascist Spain. The stage version already has a book that has been written by del Toro and Jeremy Ungar". Pual Williams and Gustavo Santaolalla have just gotten hired to write the lyrics and music. for the past years del toro has been working on this musical quietly

just by reading this article it makes me remember how in film anything can be done. and Del Toro created a transformation of a fantasy, and darkness to make it into a great movie. If he could combine the two to make the best of it, then anything that anyone ever does should be done by the persons greatest ability to do so. i for one would actually really want to go and watch this musical because i believe that it will simpily be great.
This is really interesting because I can imagine all sorts of new ideas this film can inspire. However, I do not know if making a musical out of a horror movie is such a good idea...I cannot really imagine that kind of twist but it may turn out great in the end. I would like to see it though, once it is finished, to see if it really worked out or not.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Pan's Labyrinth but from what I've heard it is a very visual movie so I wonder how the musical will keep that concept, but that is ncie to see that it'll be a musical.
