Universal, Guillermo del Toro Love Their Mama

Hellboy director to produce



Universal and Guillermo del Toro are coming together once again to develop Mama, a new horror film.

It would be the first English-language script for Andy and Barbara Muschietti, who are adapting their own Spanish-language short film of the same name. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Risky Business Blog, Del Toro would shepherd the project as he did on The Orphanage.

Andy Muschietti will direct the film. Plot details are under wraps but THR says the story is focusing on “two girls, Victoria and Lily, who are on the run from a ghostly woman who appears to be their mother in a Gothic home… It ends with the mother apparently vanquished – but one of the girls is turned into a ghoul.” It will also be effects-driven and may shoot in New Zealand next year.

The Muschietti’s are currently writing the script.
