First let’s start with this twitter bomb from @RealGDT:

News: I will shoot a new film in August in Toronto. Jul-Nov, LACMA will have an exhibition of my movie stuff + 500 pieces from Bleak House. — Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) March 11, 2016

New Film shooting in August

This one is still being kept under wraps. The known films out there right now, Fantastic Voyage and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, are unlikely candidates. Seems the pre-production time needed for FANTASTIC VOYAGE makes it unlikely to be ready in August, and SCARY STORIES just got a writing team selected. This one’s a mystery, folks, and likely to be a surprise. I’ve never successfully predicted Guillermo’s next movie, and it is safe to say I won’t this time either.

Guillermo del Toro Art Exhibit

Now this one, I do know a little about. Guillermo has curated a touring exhibit that is tribute to his creative process: it focuses on his common themes, his notebook, and his expansive art and pop culture collection that resides at Bleak House. As Guillermo mentions, it will include 500+ pieces from his personal collection. The exhibit starts at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) from July to November 2016, and will then move to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), the Minneapolis Museum of Art (MIA), New York, and these international destinations: Mexico City, Paris, and Barcelona.
