It was announced after the release of Pinocchio that Guillermo del Toro would be re-teaming with Netflix for another stop-motion animated movie adaptation. That movie has now been folded into plans for a trailblazing stop-motion studio between the collaborators, Variety reports.
Netflix boss Ted Sarandos and the Frankenstein filmmaker are launching a new stop motion animation studio, conceived as a training center and “living laboratory of experimentation and research at the Gobelins (which is repped by Gotham Group).”
The new endeavor will also be a tribute to the late Mark Gustafson, esteemed animator and co-director of del Toro’s Pinocchio.
One of the films being developed for this new endeavor is an adaptation of Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro’s fantasy novel, The Buried Giant.
