Del Toro talks plans

We know that happy horror helmer Guillermo del Toro will be occupied for the next few years bringing diminutive hairy men to life, but it’s nice to know he’s viewing his post-HOBBIT future with a long telescope.

Wired recently caught up to the director to ask him about co-writing the vampire novel “The Strain” and get a roundup of all his eventual projects after leaving Middle Earth.
