'''Guillermo del Toro''' is a critically-acclaimed filmmaker and author from [[Mexico]], widely known for his work on the [[Speculative Fiction]] genre. He is perhaps best recognized by moviegoers as director of the ''[[Hellboy (film)|Hellboy]]'' film series, as well as his best-received film, ''[[Pan's Labyrinth]]''.
 
Del Toro is notoriously known for turning down high-budgeted [[Summer Blockbuster]] movies to work on smaller, independent projects. So far he has rejected offers to direct ''[[I Am Legend]]'', ''[[One Missed Call]]''; ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia|The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe]]''; ''[[Halo]]'', and even ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince (film)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]''. He did, however, accept an offer to work on the upcoming ''[[The Hobbit (film)|The Hobbit]]'' film series, but ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''-helmer [[Peter Jackson]] wouldwound up taking over the director's spot, with del Toro staying on as a writer.
 
He is currently{{when}} developing ''[[Trollhunters]]'', which he will produce at [[Dreamworks Animation]]. He also announced that he will make Dreamworks his animation home and has already worked on a few projects, including ''[[Kung Fu Panda]] 2'' and ''[[Megamind]]''.
