As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share the excitement that Guillermo del Toro, our master of horror, has breathed life into a monster right here in Toronto! In anticipation of his upcoming movie, “Frankenstein,” set to grace our screens on Netflix in November, four soundstages along the city’s waterfront have been honorably renamed in his name. Simply put, it feels like the heart of horror is beating right here!
As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Cinespace Studios has honorably christened its four production studios as “The Guillermo del Toro Stages.” Last Thursday, the city of Toronto presented the legendary Oscar-winning director, Guillermo del Toro, with the ceremonial keys. This esteemed recognition came after Del Toro filmed numerous movies at the Marine Terminal, including classics like “Nightmare Alley” and his latest project, “Cabinet of Curiosities.” What an amazing tribute to a true cinematic visionary!
Guillermo’s influence and strong connection with the Toronto film industry, as well as his dedication to storytelling, are evident in the rebranding of these stages,” commented Eoin Egan, co-CEO of Cinespace Studios, in a statement. This rephrasing aims to maintain the original meaning while making it easier for readers to comprehend.
In the case of “Frankenstein”, the Marine Terminal, known for its role as a production base for Netflix, featured a life-size ship floating on Lake Ontario during the filming of the monster master’s movie. Additionally, Guillermo del Toro conducted filming on location in gothic Scotland and England for his film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless novel, apart from Marine Terminal.
This upcoming film adaptation of Frankenstein, set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September, features Oscar Isaac portraying Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi playing the role of the monster created by Frankenstein. The cast also includes Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Christian Convery, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz.
Guillermo del Toro has been filming his movies in Toronto since 1997, starting with Mimic. He filmed Pacific Rim, Crimson Peak, and The Shape of Water, which depicted Baltimore in 1962, in the Canadian city that has also served as a home for his family.

For me and my artistic pursuits, Toronto feels like a second home. It’s been humbling to have my name connected with these magnificent stages where I’ve made cherished memories alongside my valued team and peers. I am deeply thankful for this acknowledgment from Cinespace Studios, and for the continuous backing of the Toronto film community during my career spanning many decades,” said Del Toro in a statement.
