… are in the trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak.
Atmospheric Gothic setting?
Check.
Huge incredibly-designed house that calls back to a gilded age?
Check.
Fantastic art direction in a Victorian setting that includes elements of steampunk and crazy-ass CG ghost effects?
Check.
Jim Beaver from Deadwood and Supernatural?
Check, idjits!
Tom “TiddlesmyDiddles” Hiddleston…. shirtless?
CHECK. That is a BIG ten-four, folks.
And…!!!
…It’s coming out within a week of my birthday!
Should be in theaters in October, but whether it’s the 13th or 23rd I can’t tell.
I love everything about this film so far except the CGI effects! When, oh when, will horror directors realize that CGI looks terrible?
Indeed! Since practical seems to be the minority these days i am hoping for a good mix of practical/CG – I think Del Toro does a decent job with it. That said, I still love the old ways!
And thanks for commenting! I love your blog and am following now !
Thank you! And your blog looks fantastic! Just what I need to help me decide what to watch over the summer… 😉
Aw, thanks! Heh, I am a little all over the place when it comes to what I watch.
Sidenote: I’m working on a different book now, but in time I’m going to start working on a book very influenced by gothic fiction. I’m so glad you found my blog, yours looks like a great source of information about it!
