Guillermo del Toro Answers Call of the Sea
Guillermo del Toro, whose fantasy horror Pan’s Labyrinth will be one of the leading candidates for the Palme d’Or in Cannes next month, is putting together Chilean horror project The Call of the Sea.
Written by Jorge Olguin, who will also direct, the film is based on a legend about a ghost ship that navigates the cold waters of a mysterious Chilean island in search of the souls of local fisherman. The story centers on a marine biologist who discovers that many of the legends are related to her family’s past.
Del Toro - who will will serve as executive producer - became involved in the project after reading the screenplay and deciding that the film was an important entrant in the Latin American horror/fantasy oeuvre.
