Following his success with Pinocchio, Guillermo del Toro is creating a new animated feature for Netflix, based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant.

The fantasy tale about a post-Arthurian England was published in 2015.

“Guillermo del Toro is a visionary filmmaker and master of his craft,” Netflix’s Scott Stuber said. “We couldn’t be more proud of the prestigious recognition for his Pinocchio, and we’re pleased to continue our creative partnership as he develops his next project with Netflix.”

Del Toro noted: “The Buried Giant continues my animation partnership with Netflix and our pursuit of stop-motion as a medium to tell complex stories and build limitless worlds. It is a great honour and greater responsibility for me to direct this screenplay which Dennis Kelly and I are adapting from Kazuo Ishiguro’s profound and imaginative novel.”
