Guillermo del Toro: RT's Dinner & the Movies Interview Pt 2

Part 2 of 12: On the projects he's turned down over the years...



"I wish I could work every twenty seconds but the problem is making a movie - if you're really invested in it - takes at least two years of your life, if not three.

I rightfully said no to Se7en, because it was a great script but it was a very cynical view of the world. I loved it, I wanted to see it, but I'm a romantic, fat bastard and I don't subscribe to that view.

When I read Blade 2, I turned it down three times ... Goyer said, "Do you want Hellboy?" I said, "Yeah," and he said, "Then do Blade. They're not going to finance Hellboy from looking at Devil's Backbone."
