Guillermo del Toro will produce the CG-animated horror comedy The Day of the Dead, Deadline reports.
The flick features a “Romeo and Juliet-style love story”, with Mexico’s Day of the Dead celebrations acting as a backdrop.
Jorge R. Gutierrez will write and direct the project, which is set for a 2014 release. Animation studio Reel FX is in charge of bringing the tale to life.
Del Toro previously produced Puss in Boots and Kung Fu Panda 2.
