‘The Shape of Water’ – Guillermo del Toro Shares Never-Before-Seen Teaser Trailer Concept [Video]

It has somehow already been five years since the release of Guillermo del Toro‘s love story The Shape of Water, which was nominated for a whopping thirteen Academy Awards in 2018. The film ended up winning Best Picture while del Toro took home the Oscar for Best Director, and the Fox Searchlight movie also ended its worldwide run with just under $200 million.

All these years later, Searchlight Pictures has shared a never-before-seen teaser trailer for The Shape of Water, cut together five years ago but never actually shown to the public.

Guillermo del Toro himself explained on Twitter today, quote-tweeting Searchlight’s tweet, “Watch this one- we never released it and it was a concept I championed but- alas.”

It’s a simple, elegant, and gorgeous teaser, taking place entirely underwater and giving us a glimpse of both Doug Jones‘ Amphibian Man and Sally Hawkins‘ Elisa Esposito.

The two embrace underwater with a classic love song playing over the visuals, essentially bringing to life the memorable poster art that was officially released for the movie.

You can watch the previously unseen Shape of Water teaser concept below.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
