He's the helmer of "Pan's Labyrinth", one of the year's absolute best films, and whilst doing promotions for it, he has talked a lot about his various projects in the works.
In regards to the "Hellboy" sequel, he confirmed to Fangoria that "We are preparing to shoot in May or June, but we don't start casting until January".
After that he has three dream projects he'd love to do next - H.P. Lovecraft's Antartic-set tale "At the Mountains of Madness", the Faustian tale "Mephisto's Bridge", and "Montecristo" a Gothic Western retelling of the classic "Count of Monte Cristo" story by Dumas.
Also on the cards are his dark, straightforward take on Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic hero Tarzan, telling Sci-Fi Wire that "Tarzan I take on because I really think in a feverish state I do believe that there is a Tarzan to be made that is more fantastic and darker and different than the ones that have been made".
He's also thinking about returning to his native Mexico to film the wrestler/vampire story "Silver".
Finally, Suicide Girls recently spoke with "Children of Men" helmer Alfonso Cuaron who was asked if he'd team up with Guillermo. He replied "We always talk about it. Doing a film with me, Guillermo and Alejandro Iñárritu ("Babel"). At one point Guillermo wanted to do a story of a kidnapping seen from three different points of view and for each one of us to take a different character for a different point of view of the same situation".
