Guillermo del Toro Teases Incredibly Emotional ‘Frankenstein’ at Cannes, Says It’s Not a Horror Movie

Guillermo del Toro and composer Alexandre Desplat shared details about their 'emotional' approach to making 'Frankenstein' at Cannes.

“Somebody asked me the other day, does it have really scary scenes?” del Toro said during a conversation at the Cannes Film Festival with Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat. Desplat and del Toro were on stage discussing their collaborations on films like “The Shape of Water” and “Pinocchio” as a way of highlighting the pivotal role that music plays in moviemaking. In addition to his work on “Frankenstein,” Desplat also scored two films in competition at Cannes this year, Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme” and Tarik Saleh’s “Eagles of the Republic.”
