New PAN'S LABYRINTH Trailer On-Line...Kind Of...!!
This is frustrating to link to because the material appears to be pretty cool, but the quality of video waiting for you on the other side is irritating-at-best. Consider that both a gripe, and a heads-up.
None the less, I thought you might like a look at the new trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s PAN’S LABYRINTH. Even through the haze of blocky texturing and pixilated motion, you can sense some pretty amazing design work and atmosphere afoot. Hopefully a sharper version of this trailer will find its way to duh Internets soon.
You can access the new trailer "http://www.clubcultura.com/clubcine/clubcineastas/guillermodeltoro/ellaberintodelfauno/trailer.swf " target=parent>HERE. The film’s official website can be found HERE.
LABYRINTH will compete in Cannes this year - the festival begins Wednesday.
Thanks to everyone who wrote in to point this out!

Beeatch....

I'm sorry, but the way the headline ends with Kind Of... and how they all end in !!!... it just reminded me of Homer's reply to his brother... "Homer, I want you to answer me with some enthusiasm!" -- "SORT OF!!!"
-
God, I love Del Toro. The guy has quite the imagination. I doubt we'll see this in the US any time soon compliments of Hollywoods disdain for all things not english, and that's a fucking shame. Now we just need Tideland and Southland Tales to make this this weirdest year in movies, ever.
-
hehe. those nightbreed guys can't find any safe place, can they?
-
no seriously. what the f*** was that?
-
...a movie like Henson's LABYRINTH, (which is about a tenth of a degree away, tone-wise, from being an all out kids horror flick) but with a darker edge that really explores the terrifying aspects of those fantasy situations. I hope this is what we get from good 'ol Guillermo. ***(what we didn't quite get from Mirrormask)
-
Was it me, or did one of those creatures have a head that looked a lot like A.S.?
Oh, well, I can't fucking WAIT to see this. I think I'll go watch Devil's Backbone now... -
Seriously. Wow! That's why I love GDT. Even Mimic and Blade 2 got their Wow-Moments and I don't have to tell you that his not-Hollywood films are even better.
-
Looks pretty damn cool. And what a satisfying video link - in your face and playing almost before you release the mouse button.
-
Does del Toro sleep with a goddamn Necronomicon under his pillow??!?!? Hellboy, now this - where the burning fuck is his At the Mountains of Madness?!?! The picture quality wasn't that bad considering the video was the easiest loading web video ever.
-
There is something cool about that. If you like frogs, that is. Anyways, love everything from Del Toro so far, esp. Blade 2. I guess it's in Spanish though, which sucks. Looking forward to the flick, though.
-
Oh man...absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see this.
-
I posted this in the Zone yesterday afternoon. Albiet with the time skips, maybe you just realized...
-
What a great career, that he can make mainstream fare like Blade2 and Hellboy, then go off to Spain and make personal films without anyone giving him shit. A true filmmaker. I just watched Devil's Backbone again, and really, it's a perfect ghost story. Perfect. Oh, and Paralyser: "I guess it's in Spanish though, which sucks." No, it's quite beautiful actually... my 400 Million speakers will have to disagree with you.
-
Cool monsters, awesome set design and the hint that we'll be seeing Franco's Falange troops getting their asses handed to them by demons and fairy folk. I'm so there. And is it just me, but doesn't a Mr. Voice-type guy work much better when you DON'T understand what he's saying? The gravelly tone is all you need for setting the mood, not that "in a woooooorrrrlllld...." shit.
-
This is for all those people that hold Neverending Story in high regard, even if only for nostalgic value, and need to upgrade to a mature, ultra fucked up, similar film. I love GdT, but this looks like it may be his masterpiece. Cannes is going to be interesting. The four way competition between Fast Food Nation, Marie Antoinette, Southland Tales, and this should be vicious. All four films are drastically different, but they should be the highlights of this calendar year.
-
For us lazy Americans, right? Otherwise, it looks pretty awesome.
-
This strikes me as something H.P. Lovecraft would create if he was forced to write stream-of-consciousness while being thoroughly buggered by Clive Barker.
-
nothing about it. Just like when The Devil
-
looks just Arthur Machen
-
Cuervo Jones is absolutely correct about the obvious influence Arthur Machen's stories, most of all THE GREAT GOD PAN had on this film. Guillermo himself said he re-read all of Machen's stories before working on it. I think that story in itself would make a really kick-ass film.

TequilaMocking, please don't kid yourself. Genre films like this and SOUTHLAND TALES won't even be considered for any prizes at Cannes. I have no idea why they are even in competition. Everybody knows that the big awards will go to some "deep", soul-searching melodrama, preferably with a strong anti-American message.
-
This this will fucking rule earth!
-
I love the way GDT moves his camera in his movies. His visuals move like cinematic silk. Like the camera is making love to the story that is unfolding. The love and attention to detail he puts in his films is astounding. I love this guy.
-
Southland Tales is a Dr. Strangelovesque satire about where America is heading politically and socially. It takes place in a police state after WWIII.
-
i've waited so long to get a good look at this movie that i eagerly anticipate.. i suppose waiting a bit longer for QT won't hurt. i know it's all worthh it.
-
...I think!? Can't wait for Quicktime.
-
a creature with eyes in the palm of his hands is just plain stupid. How the hell does it pick anything up without getting poked in the eye? It wouldn't be able to carry anything with two hands and walk--though typing might be easier. It would be the easiest monster to beat in a fight. Weird for the sake of weird. Even fantasy worlds have to have some kind of inner logic.
-
... is ALL over this. I'm so there.
-
I think they appear and disappear as needed. What is kind of silly is that I saw the trailer only once but they had that enough shots of that thing for me to know this. Someone needs to learn how to cut a trailer over there.
-
Agree with chiahead. Hope a badly cut trailer isn't an indication of how the movie will be. There's some beautiful imagery in there.
-
Are you suggesting eyes migrate?
-
into English are don't deserve to see it. If you're too lazy or too slow to read subtitles, you should probably just skip this and go see the latest Lindsay Lohan new movie.
There, I said it. -
I'm an American snob!!!
-
what are the chances of the negative buzz making its way onto this site? Nil to none.
-
Nazis make the best villains. Even if they're just knock-off Nazis like those fellows from the Galactic Empire.
-
The Devils Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth have a lot in common, so I'm definitely there for Pan's Labyrinth.
-
It's about time for a movie that gives me that vomity feeling that Legend did as a kid. I mean that in a good way. Hard to create that feeling nowadays.
-
Del Toro certainly has a wonderful eye, (or maybe he just has a fantastic DP, a role which few people credit) but I have not been engaged by any of his films that I have seen (to be fair I haven't seen Backbone), Blade II was awful, the movie's logic even in it's fantastic settings was irredeemably stupid. Hellboy was just flat it looked cool but I just was not engaged, and I wanted it to be good. This movie looks like it has great atmosphere and I hope it's great. Then again a lot of people like del Toro just fine the way he is, so please don't take offense at my lukewarm evaluation of his works.
-
Is one of the best pure ghost stories I've seen. The whole vibe of the movie is creepy and unsettling. It reminded me a little of The Changeling, but the visuals were a lot more striking.
-
This looks amazing; even in its blocky trailer goodness. Del Toro scores a GOAL!
-
Finally a film trailer that actually excited me! Woo! And I cant even speak spanish!
-
let me try that again - was the DEVIL'S BACKBONE dubbed when it hit DVD? i figure if it was, this will be too. subtitles aren't that bad, i mean, i don't care for them either, you miss a lot of what goes on onscreen when you're reading them. but if you have a decent memory, you can pay more attention to the screen the second time you watch it. the first time i saw CITY OF LOST CHILDREN it was dubbed, altho if i remember correctly, i paid more attention to the visuals than what was being said. i just picked up NATURAL CITY, which is subtitled only, but i wouldn't miss it just because of that
-
where the hell is everyone? slow night here at AICN...

[-Solo he visto tres peliculas dirigidas por Del Toro. Blade 2, El Espinazo del Diablo, y Hellboy y en realidad las tres me impresionaron mucho, especialmente El Espinazo. Los visuales en este corto son fantasticos y denotan ese estilo tan unico de Del Toro. Vere esta pelicula en su semana de estreno.-]
AAAAAANNNNDDDDDD THAT WAS:
[-I've only seen three films directed by Del Toro. Blade 2, The Devil's Backbone, and Hellboy, and I was really impressed with the three of them. Especially with Devil's Backbone. The visuals in this trailer are awesome and they showcase Del Toro's unique style. I'll be there opening week. See that wasn't so bad. This message is in spanish and english, kinda, sort of like this movie...and very little was lost. So watch it, and read the subtis...really,go, Del Toro is good. You'll have fun. I promise. And with that, the rest is silence.-] -
Seeing as how people speak at about 100 words per minute, and people can read anywhere between 500-700 words per minute, I've usually read the whole subtitle by the time the dude utters his 3rd word. No big! BTW, Devil's Backbone DVD was not dubbed. And it's still a perfect film.
