To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Guillermo del Toro‘s fantastical film “Pan’s Labyrinth,” Insight Editions is publishing two official books, “Pan’s Labyrinth: The Complete Screenplay” and “Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth: Inside the Creation of a Modern Fairytale — 20th Anniversary Edition.”
“Inside the Creation of a Modern Fairy Tale” was written in close collaboration with del Toro. It covers all aspects of the filmmaking journey, from his early story ideas through the all-important casting process, the challenges of production and the overwhelmingly positive critical response. Director Steven Spielberg provides the book’s foreword.
It also features rare concept art and candid on-set photography. The book also contains interviews with key contributors — including the director; stars Ivana Baquero, Sergi López, Maribel Verdú and Doug Jones; producers Alfonso Cuarón and Bertha Navarro; and director of photography Guillermo Navarro.
A limited editon of 500 copies––the first 100 signed by del Toro himself–– will be available. Each is casebound in Svepa leatherette with gilded edges, gold foil, blind debossing, and housed in a debossed slipcase.
“The Complete Screenplay” features the full shooting script of the acclaimed fantasy film, written and directed by del Toro.
“Pan’s Labyrinth” follows a young girl named Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), who travels into a fantasy world after fleeing the danger of 1944 Francoist Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. While there, she befriends a mysterious faun and navigates the realm of deadly beasts. Starring alongside Baquero are Doug Jones, Maribel Verdú and Sergi López.
To mark the anniversary, Cineverse, in conjunction with Fathom Entertainment, is bringing the film back to theaters Oct. 9, with the screenings in 3D and HDR by Barco. Tickets are on sale now.
