\"I love monsters. I love robots. I love Guillermo del Toro. When he asked us to do posters for a movie he was directing with both, how could we say no? GDT wasn\'t a bystander in the process, though. As he did in our previous director\'s series, he helped hand pick the artist and gave notes on the designs. We\'re all very proud to have worked on this project with him,\" said Justin Ishmael CEO of Mondo.
