Guillermo del Toro has lined up Nightmare Alley as a future project

December 14, 2017 by Samuel Brace

Guillermo del Toro is looking to the future and has lined up another directorial project.

While he may be celebrating all the awards buzz being generated by his latest movie, The Shape of Water, del Toro does have an eye on the future. Variety has confirmed that the del Toro produced Antlers could be gaining Scott Cooper as a director, with Searchlight and Cooper currently in negotiations.

Guillermo del Toro is also arranging a new directing role, now attached to write and direct a remake of the 1947 Fox movie Nightmare Alley. Variety suggests that this won’t be his next project, however, as del Toro is still to write the film’s script.

“I am delighted to continue the producing partnership that has been forged with Fox Searchlight during the making of The Shape of Water,” del Toro said in a statement. “Nancy, Steve, David and Matthew and the entire team are great champions of true cinema. With both Nightmare Alley and Antlers I know we will create entertaining, elevated films.”

Nightmare Alley tells the story of a conman and a female psychiatrist who team up to fleece people with their mentalist act.
