We’ve heard several stories of close encounters, but we’ve definitely never heard a reaction like Guillermo del Toro‘s!
The Shape Of Water director told the story during an interview in front of an audience of students at Loyola Marymount University’s School Of Film & TV, and it must be read to be believed:
“I know this is horrible. You sound like a complete lunatic, but I saw a UFO. I didn’t want to see a UFO. It was horribly designed. I was with a friend [at] a place called Cerro del Cuatro, “Mountain of the Four,” and outside, in the the periphery of Guadalajara. We said, ├óΓé¼╦£Let’s go to the highway.’ We sit down to watch the stars and have the beer and talk. We were the only guys by the freeway. And we saw a light on the horizon going super-fast, not linear. And I said, ├óΓé¼╦£Honk and flash the lights.’ And we started honking. And it went from there to here — like 1,000 meters away — in less than a second, and it was so crappy. It was a flying saucer, so clich├â┬⌐d, with lights [blinking]. It’s so sad: I wish I could reveal they’re not what you think they are. They are what you think they are. And the fear we felt was so primal. I have never been that scared in my life. We jumped in the car, drove really fast. It was following us, and then I looked back and it was gone. So, you know, judge me. I have no implant.”
Amazing. The man saw a flying saucer and thought it wasn’t cool enough! Guess we should expect as much from such a visionary sci-fi/fantasy filmmaker! Ha!
We know some celebs who are probably plenty jealous of del Toro right now…
