The 'Beards of Hollywood' Directors Cut Volume IV

Well, it looks like my lack of speed to execution has let our good friends at JoBlo.com beat me to the punch... They put up an article (MOMENTS AGO) as I was writing this so I am deleting my ENTIRE article and starting over....

I am adding a link to JoBlo.com that pretty much sums up what I was in the midst of writing about... I had some great stuff... Alas, them JoBlo.com Boys beat me to it, so here 'ya go CLICK HERE to see what our Brothers in Beard have to say about our next Beards of Hollywood Directors Cut Master..... Guilermo del Toro!


Unquestionably one of the finest directors working in Hollywood today. One whom I believe is JUST beginning to find his creative spark that will launch him to the forefront of everyone's mind.

This man has 8 Films at some phase of development currently. I will repeat myself at the risk of being crude "8 FILMS" in development at the moment!! Friends that is a Speilbergian levels of commitment to the craft and shows his passion for his work like few before him.

1. Drood
   
2. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
3. Frankenstein
4. The Witches
   
5. Saturn and the End of Days
6. Champions
7. Deadman
8. Death: The High Cost of Living

And that list doesn't include some of those mentioned in the JoBlo.com article I linked previously.. WOW... more like 10-12 films in the works!!!! Get ready to know this mans name.

Now, here is a rundown of the mans Film and TV accomplishments to date. Most of them you may not know, however, they are ALL worth your time, especially his crop of Hollywood films:

Looks like I see the HOBBIT on here (From our good Bearded Friend Peter Jackson, That crazy UNfat bearded bastard!)... Two Hobbits films actually! Sounds like lots of beards, in front of AND behind the camera and enough of the Shire Pipe Weed Little People to _______ well you fill in the blank.

Do FEET BEARDS COUNT? I'm just asking?

Looks like these cats at The Hobbit Blog will handle the bloggin' for this series so go check them out. The site hasn't been updated since April 24th, but then again there really isn't TOO much news about these films at the moment, we will keep your blog locked and let you know what falls in and out of the cracks, ESPECIALLY if it has to do with beards... Which you already know.

Another reason to love the man.... He did trash 'Twilight". Here it pokes a little fun at that film and talks about his love of vampire movies and his plans for a trilogy of vampire films (is that like 15 movies now he is working on!!?!??) Consequently, if you want a good film about teenage vampire love go check out "Let The Right One In", come back here and let us know what you think, I am sure I speak for us all when I say BRILLIANT!!



Come on folks honestly the man is the shit, plan and simple. He will continue to create great films just like the beards before him have done and keep us coming back for more.

del Toro Films: Official Fan website really says more than we can here, shit we just want you to know all about great beards and beard news. Check them out HERE.

Honestly this mans name truly is worthy of being added to the Beards Of Hollywood Directors Cut. You may not know his name yet but soon he will be added into the same sentence as Kubrick, Spielberg, Lucas, Jackson and so many more great bearded directors AND even those that prefer to go without the beard, but that is another bloggers story yet to be told!!


Here's to you del Toro, watching you make it happen is just plain old fun. Keep it up.

'Till Next Time.
