It appears that Guillermo Del Toro will be taking on a writing assignment by co-authoring a triloogy of vampire novels! We get the following scoop from the blood caves of Yahoo:
“Pan’s Labyrinth” director Guillermo del Toro is collaborating with crime author Chuck Hogan on a trilogy of vampire novels, starting next summer with “The Strain.”
“The idea is epic in scope,” del Toro said in a statement issued Wednesday by publisher William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins. “The trilogy advances in unexpected ways and each book contains unique and surprising revelations about the history, physiology and lore of the vampiric race, tracing its roots all the way back to its Old Testament origins.”
Guillermo is booked for the next decade and somehow he manages to find the time to co-author 3 novels? I don’t know how he does it, but I’m guessing he’s found a way to enjoy 38 hour days.
I think the man has incredible imagination and is well suited to co-author vampire novels with Chuck Hogan. If the books are well received, I can certainly see them being adapted into film whenever Guillermo is able to eek out enough time to do them. The only thing that is going to stop this man’s work ethic is heart failure.
If we had a “busiest dude” award, Guillermo would get the gold.
