Guillermo Del Toro Teases His Adaptation Of Kazuo Ishiguro’s ‘The Buried Giant’ At BFI Career Talk: “A Fascinatingly Difficult Stop-Motion Movie For Adults”

Guillermo del Toro was awarded a BFI Fellowship, the British Film Institute’s highest honor, earlier this week in London. And to celebrate the award, the Mexican filmmaker has taken part in a series of talks and presentations across the British capital. This evening, he sat for an onstage career Q&A session with film historian and BFI executive Jason Wood. 

The talk was impassioned and wide-ranging, with Wood, a longtime del Toro interlocutor, quizzing the filmmaker on everything from his childhood in Guadalajara, Mexico, to his passion for design and scrapbooking. During the session, Del Toro also teased his next production, a stop-motion adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2015 novel The Buried Giant.
