10 Unmade Guillermo Del Toro Projects That Look Awesome

8. Insane

He may be best known for his movies, but Guillermo del Toro is a man who recognises when he has an interesting new way to tell a story; no doubt buoyed by his interest in video games, the filmmaker recently began working on his own. That game was Insane, developed in collaboration with Volition. Planned as a trilogy of titles, del Toro said upon announcement "I want to take players to a place they have never seen before, where every single action makes them question their own senses of morality and reality," whatever that means. Given the sort of thought he puts into every project - and how scary they often are - Insane would likely have been a high-end horror title. Sadly, "likely" is as far as it goes, because nothing ever came of the game, thanks to the collapse of publisher THQ. Besides some cryptic comments by del Toro and the news that Hellboy comic artist Guy Davis was working on designs, not much was known about Insane; only that those titbits are enough, coupled with the idea of a del Toro horror game, for fans to be disappointed when it was canned.
