It may be a rumour. And it may be truth as well. Guillermo del Toro may be the director of the much awaited Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now that would be some achievement for the 43 year old Mexican Film Director.
Del Toro was born on October 9, 1964. He got involved in film-making when he was about eight years old. He formed his first feature in 1986.
Now, the question is what makes his appointment a possible thing. Probably, it's his inherent capability to make dark movies so effectively. He’s notably known for two movies Hellboy (2004) and Blade2 (2002) which belong to pretty dark sort of cinema. Now, Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows seems to naturally need such a director that can show the fear and horror of the storyline.
However, Alfonso Cuaron’s experiment in this matter was also not the most successful one. His idea of darkness certainly didn’t appeal much to the viewers. The story is dark enough and its correct portrayal will certainly be enough to appeal to Harry Potter fans.
Del Toro, however, has shown some interest in the project. Incidentally, he actually turned down the offer to direct Prisoner of Azkaban for Hellboy. Now, he seems quite inclined to drop Hellboy’s sequel for Deathly Hallows. After all, Harry Potter is sure to ring cash registers like hell as compared to Hellboy.
