First Glimpse Of Del Toro Produced Julia's Eyes

30 November 2009 9:34 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Now a little over a month into production, the first artwork has just been released from Guillem Morales' Los Ojos De Julia. A Spanish production backed by Focus Features in what looks to be a similar arrangement to how Focus was involved with Park Chan-Wook's Thirst, this one has an automatic leg up in that it is being produced by Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo Del Toro.  Because, you know, he's not already busy enough prepping The Hobbit.  The story follows a young woman (played by Belen Rueda) dealing with the slow erosion of her sight while investigating the suicide of her blind twin sister.  And judging from that image I'm guessing there's something unpleasant behind the sisters' blindness.

Teaser Art for Julia's Eyes

28 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Hard to believe it has been two years since we first reported on Julia's Eyes ( Los Ojos de Julia ). Since then, Guillermo del Toro came aboard the project earlier this year to shepherd the Guillem Morales-directed thriller starring Belen Rueda ( The Orphanage ) and Lluis Homar ( Broken Embraces ). Cameras began rolling last month in Spain and some tease art from Rodar y Rodar has presented itself online. The story tells of a woman slowly going blind as she investigates the mysterious death of her twin sister. Good times. This is the latest Del Toro production to finally get rolling into 2009. The director was also shepherding Don't Be Afraid of the Dark by director Troy Nixey. »

Guillermo del Toro revisits thrills in ‘Julia’s Eyes’

8 August 2009 5:58 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Mr. Sparky...is that you?

I will personally handle anybody who says Guillermo del Toro isn’t working hard for the money, West Side Story-style. (snap your arse off, mate) Though currently handling pre-production of The Hobbit, del Toro will reunite with Spanish firm Rodar y Rodar for producer duty on the “dark Spanish-language thriller” Los ojos de Julia (Julia’s Eyes).

“The thriller’s an excuse to talk about a woman who overcomes her limitations; it’s a journey of self-discovery,” says Rodar’s Joaquin Padro.

Directed by Guillem Morales, Julia’s Eyes will be shot from Julia’s Pov, a style reminiscent of Cloverfield, Rec and its American counterpart Quarantine. Del Toro helped land the film in the capable hands of Focus Features, International, and also helped oversee writing and casting.

According to Variety, del Toro says it “won’t be a simple schlock-a-thon.”

Del Toro Comes on to Produce 'Julia's Eyes'

7 August 2009 6:54 PM, PDT | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

While already reported on earlier this year, Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, The Hobbit, Pan's Labyrinth), has come to produce the dark Spanish-language thriller Los Ojos De Julia (Julia's Eyes) along with Barcelona's Rodar y Rodar. What's interesting about the project is that it takes elements from Rec and is shot from Julia's Pov (nothing like a fresh concept). "Julia's Eyes," which will be directed by Guillem Morales, who also co-writes along with Oriol Paulo. The pic, which has thesps Belen Rueda ("The Orphanage") and Lluis Homar ("Broken Embraces") attached to star, tells the story of a woman slowly going blind as she investigates the mysterious death of her twin sister. Rodar also produced "An Uncertain Guest," Morales' feature debut, which mixed fact and delusion in its Edgar Allen Poe-like chronicle of a young man's guilt-driven descent into delirium. »

Some people just don't know how to say no, and Guillermo del Toro seems to be one of them. The man has added yet another project to his overflowing plate, the dark Spanish-language thriller Los ojos de Julia ("Julia's Eyes"), which is set to begin lensing October 5th.

According to Variety, Del Toro, who is currently in New Zealand doing pre-production on The Hobbit, will produce along with Barcelona's Rodar y Rodar. The project, which sees del Toro and the Spanish shingle reuniting after their previous collaboration, The Orphanage, is the latest to draw on the seemingly bottomless well of young genre talent in Catalan capital Barcelona.

Julia's Eyes will be directed by Guillem Morales, who is co-writing along with Oriol Paulo. It will be produced by Rodar's Joaquin Padro and Mar Targarona and co-financed by Focus Features Intl. Belen Rueda (pictured, The Orphanage) and Lluis Homar (Broken Embraces) are »
