- Insight Editions is publishing two official books marking the 20th anniversary of Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth": a 20th anniversary edition of "Inside the Creation of a Modern Fairytale" and "Pan’s Labyrinth: The Complete Screenplay."
- "Inside the Creation of a Modern Fairy Tale" was written in close collaboration with del Toro, covers the filmmaking journey from early story ideas through casting and production, and features a foreword by Steven Spielberg.
- The "Inside the Creation" book includes rare concept art, candid on-set photography, and interviews with del Toro, stars Ivana Baquero, Sergi López, Maribel Verdú, and Doug Jones, plus producers Alfonso Cuarón and Bertha Navarro and DP Guillermo Navarro.
- A limited edition of 500 copies will be available — the first 100 signed by del Toro — casebound in Svepa leatherette with gilded edges, gold foil, blind debossing, and housed in a debossed slipcase.
- Cineverse, working with Fathom Entertainment, is bringing "Pan's Labyrinth" back to theaters on Oct. 9 with screenings in 3D and HDR by Barco; tickets are on sale now.
Why it matters: The anniversary books give del Toro fans new archival access — rare concept art, a full shooting script, and a Spielberg-penned foreword — while a 500-copy limited edition (100 signed by del Toro) creates collector scarcity, and the Oct. 9 3D theatrical re-release revives the 2006 fantasy for new and returning audiences.
