Guillermo Del Toro Reveals Jennifer Kent Will Write/Direct An Episode Of His Upcoming Netflix Anthology Series
Jennifer Kent is a filmmaker that is been on the minds of film fans around the world since her debut film in 2014, “The Babadook.” Since then, the filmmaker has released one film, last year’s “The Nightingale,” which earned mixed reviews coming out of the 2018 film festival circuit. However, fans hoping that she ventures back into the horror realm will be happy to know that it appears Kent’s next project is deeply in the genre, and she’s teaming up with one of the masters.
Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Jennifer Kent has signed on to write a produce an episode of Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming horror anthology series ‘Ten After Midnight.’ Del Toro was speaking at a special event yesterday, promoting his upcoming “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” and he was asked about Kent’s involvement.

“She’s going to do one of the stories that we’re doing for Netflix,” del Toro said. “She’s adapting a story that is based on a concept that I came up with but she’s writing and directing.”
Of course, we still don’t have much information about del Toro’s upcoming Netflix series, as it’s been in development for quite some time and seems to only now be going into production. But it is said to feature incredible filmmakers (such as Kent) tackling genre stories that are being crafted by del Toro.

“Ten After Midnight” is one of a few projects del Toro has been developing over on Netflix. Another project is the stop-motion animated reimagining of the classic “Pinocchio,” which is said to be in production, as well.
As for the next live-action film that del Toro is going to direct? He’s apparently still deciding which to tackle.
“I have two movies that are neck to neck but I haven’t decided,” del Toro said.
