DEL TORO WILL NEVER FILM IN MEXICO AGAIN
Director GUILLERMO DEL TORO will never make another movie in Mexico - because he fears he might be kidnapped by terrorists.
The Hellboy filmmaker’s father was captured and held hostage in the country 10 years ago. He was subsequently returned safely to his family, but still received death threats following the incident.
Del Toro recently co-produced new movie Rudo y Cursi in Mexico but won’t be returning to the country because he doesn’t feel safe - insisting his daily routine became too public which he was shooting there.
He tells USA Today, "Not all of the people who participated in the kidnapping (of my father) were captured. (I am in a) forced exile." Mexico has one of the highest abduction rates in the world, with recent government figures pointing to an average of 72 incidents a month.
