Coming to a theater near you on October 14, 2014 – just in time for Halloween – is a new film produced by Guillermo De Toro called The Book of Life. The film stars the voice talents of Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, Christina Applegate, Ice Cube, Ron Perlman and Diego Luna.
The Book of Life is a vibrant fantasy-adventure, tells the legend of Manolo, a conflicted hero and dreamer who sets off on an epic quest through magical, mythical and wondrous worlds in order to rescue his one true love and defend his village.
Check out the trailer.
It’s a unique looking film, that is for sure.
I’m surprised the film is produced by Guillermo De Toro. I’m a big fan of his work. One of my favorite shows is his series The Strain. He’s also produced other movies I enjoy like Hellboy, Rise of the Guardians, Mama, Puss in Boots and Pan’s Labyrinth. Needless to say Guillermo De Toro likes creepy and macabre stories.
The film is rated PG.
