That took a lot of growing up and a lot of tools that I couldn't have done 10 years ago. Now I'm brave enough or crazy enough or something, and we're going to tackle it.”
The film marks a new collaboration between del Toro and the renowned composer Alexandre Desplat (The Shape of Water, Pinocchio) who is taking charge of the soundtrack.
