Guillermo Del Toro in Talks to Direct New Fantastic Voyage
Guillermo Del Toro, the director of Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, and the Hellboy films, may take on the Fantastic Voyage remake.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Del Toro would reunite with David S. Goyer, who previously wrote and produced Blade II. Goyer has since worked on a number of superhero films, including the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The original Fantastic Voyage was one of the best-looking sci-fi films of the 1960’s, taking audiences inside a human body via a shrinking submarine. Given his reputation as a visionary filmmaker, Del Toro sounds like the perfect director to helm this reboot. Of course he may be too busy if Pacific Rim 2 ever gets off the ground.
