[Trailer] Guillermo del Toro’s ‘The Shape of Water’ Takes the Creature Out of the Lagoon

Published

We hope you’re ready to watch your new favorite trailer.

There was a time when Guillermo del Toro was attached to direct his own take on Creature from the Black Lagoon, but that of course didn’t come to fruition. Nevertheless, it’s clearly a movie that the visionary filmmaker loves, and it seems to have been a direct inspiration for his new film The Shape of Water.

The other-worldly tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War-era America circa 1963, debuted its first footage ahead of select showings of War for the Planet of the Apes, and that trailer just hit the net. It presents a fairy tale love story between woman and creature, and it looks to embody everything that we love about Guillermo del Toro.

Waiting for this one isn’t going to be easy.

In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is trapped in a life of silence and isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment.

Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and Doug Jones also star.

Look for it on December 8, 2017.
