Three-time Oscar winner and celebrated genre visionary Guillermo del Toro is the subject of a feature documentary.
Sangre del Toro is currently in post-production and slated for delivery in 2025, Variety reports. Brilliant Pictures will be present exclusive footage to buyers in Cannes.
The doc portrays the Mexican filmmaker as a modern-day Minotaur — half man, half monster — navigating a labyrinth of creativity and symbolism. The audience is invited on a journey through the enchanted maze of del Toro’s imagination, offering insights into the humanistic and monstrous elements that define his cinematic universe.
Yves Montmayeur (Michael H. – Profession: Director) directs. Brilliant Pictures’ Sean O’Kelly and Marc Bikindou, Brainworks’ Thierry Tripod, and Kador’s Jad Ben Ammar produce.
“Yves Montmayeur’s longstanding relationship with Guillermo del Toro brings a depth of understanding and authenticity to this documentary,” said O’Kelly. “We’re thrilled to be part of a project that offers such a profound exploration of one of cinema’s most visionary directors.”
Added Ammar, “Collaborating with Brilliant Pictures and Yves Montmayeur on this project has been an enriching experience. Sangre del Toro promises to be a landmark documentary that captures the essence of Guillermo del Toro’s creative genius.”
The release of Sangre del Toro is expected to coincides with Frankenstein, del Toro’s adaption of Mary Shelley’s seminal 1818 novel, due out in November from Netflix.
