I am thrilled that Frankenstein has won an Oscar for best production design! It was a pleasure working with my fellow Nova Scotians, Tamara and Shane, to build their Arctic ship!

Praise from Variety: ‘the “Frankenstein” crew built 360-degree versions of… the ship on which Victor and the creature have their final confrontation.“I want real sets,” del Toro explains. “I don’t want digital….I want old-fashioned craftsmanship”….’

Guillermo del Toro refused to make #Frankenstein with too much visual effects and green screens: "I want real sets." "I don’t want digital. I don’t want AI. I don’t want simulation. I want old-fashioned craftsmanship. I want people painting, building, hammering, plastering." wp.me/pc8uak-1lGca8
