Del Toro To Produce Call of the Sea

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Guillermo Del Toro will executive produce The Call of the Sea, a new horror film from Jorge Olguin.

Written by Olguin, the film is based on a legend about a ghost ship that navigates the cold waters of a mysterious Chilean island in search of the souls of local fisherman. The story centers on a marine biologist (Varela) who discovers that many of the legends are related to her family’s past.

Del Toro became involved after reading the screenplay.
