The world is eagerly awaiting his take on one of the oldest horror stories in history, and now word is out that Frankenstein director Guillermo del Toro is backing another spine-tingling story of his own making, this time with a different director on board. News from The Hollywood Reporter reveals that del Toro is working alongside Netflix once again to bring his novella, The Boy in the Iron Box, to life, with The Empty Man helmer, David Prior, on board to direct.
The original book, written by del Toro and Chuck Hogan, follows a group of mercenaries who find themselves stranded on a summit after wolves pick up their trail. Finding shelter in an abandoned fortress, the group discovers a different kind of horror when they come across a box wrapped in chains buried within its depths. Guess what’s inside? Go on, guess.
