[edit] Hora Marcada
Hora Marcada was a TV show here in México much in the vein of the Twilight Zone, Guillermo directed a few of episodes (don't know actually how many), but I think Geometria (1987) and Doña Lupe (1985) are from that show. Sadly, I have no valid source to confirm this.

[edit] Santiago Segura
I'd like to add the fact that he likes to cast Spanish actor Santiago Segura on his movies in a small part, but I can't seem to find a link with info on this... any help? Vicco Lizcano 15:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC) (Tell me where I'm wrong)
[edit] Academy Award?
Exactly what Academy Award has del Toro won? I don't remember him winning any. As a matter of fact, I don't remember him being nominated (except obviously, that you're talking about his films).Vicco Lizcano 19:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC) (Tell me where I'm wrong)
- According to imdb, he was nominated but did not win, see: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868219/awards

- Cool, Thanks Vrac, then we agree he's not an academy award winner as it's stated in the article, right? the fact that his film won 3 awards doesn't make him a winner. Or am I mistaken? If he had won the best original screenplya category, I wouldn't mind. Vicco Lizcano 16:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC) (Tell me where I'm wrong)
Umm...how is he categorized under Mexican Roman Catholics when he is a self-described Pagan?
[edit] Residence
The current version (that says just "he lives in California") looks good to me. I just removed the earlier residence part because we didn't need to be quite that specific. - Jredmond (talk) 23:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deathly Hallows
I've commented out the Deathly Hallows entry in "Possible future projects" (rather than completely removing it).
The Harry Potter films are, more than any other property, like a conveyer belt delivering films at timed intervals. This is because of the age of the actors and the parts they play--it is unlikely that the actors could credibly play mid-teens far into their twenties. For this reason, Deathly Hallows is scheduled for 2010 release. Since del Toro is in advanced negotiations to taken on major Tolkien-related projects, it would be impossible for him to take on the commitment. David Heyman has told Hollywood Reporter that del Toro is "too busy" and that's obviously an understatement.

[edit] Projects he turned down to direct
How does this section help improve the article? I don't see how. I suggest we remove it, so I posted here so anyone can defend its inclusion or promote its deletion.Vicco Lizcano (talk) 14:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC) (Hey! Listen!)
