Two years ago, the black & white version of Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-nominated Nightmare Alley debuted on Hulu after its theatrical run. Today, the filmmaker revealed on Bluesky that not only is he hard at work on a Nightmare Alley remaster of this version, but it’ll be an extended cut.
“I am remastering the B&W Nightmare Alley w an extended cut. Stay tuned,” Del Toro shared on the social media app.
“Although we shot Nightmare Alley in color, we lit it as if it were black and white,” said del Toro previously of his dubbed Nightmare Alley: A Vision in Darkness & Light. “You can see exactly the same level of design, and we wanted to give viewers this special vantage as a take of the classic noir genre that the film is part of.”
Director of Photography Dan Laustsen had explained, “When we designed and shot, we were always thinking color and black and white,” he said. “The classic lighting I have used is an homage to all the incredible masters of cinematography who have inspired me.”
