I will start shooting my next live-action movie first and then we will start making the stop-motion animation, which will take about 2 years, and if everything goes well, we will start the animation production.”
The novel The Buried Giant was published in 2015. This novel follows the story of an elderly couple named Axel and Beatrice who go on an adventure to find their missing son. The narrative takes place with the couple’s journey in ancient Britain. When the Saxons and Braytons live in a fragile peace after a devastating war. The peace that is the result of an agreement is a forgetfulness. An all-pervading oblivion that has spread across the land in the form of fog.
These two couples live during the invasion of England by the Saxons and during the peace between King Arthur and the Bretons, and have amnesia. They don’t know if they had a child or not and they don’t know about their shared past. However, there is no information about Guillermo del Toro’s next live-action film. Nightmare Alley is the last live-action film directed by del Toro. Del Toro previously won 2 Oscars for the movie The Shape of Water: Best Film of the Year and Best Director.
