…Toro's Cold War-Era Fairy Tale Arrives. "The first trailer for Guillermo del Toro's new film, The Shape of Water, has arrived courtesy of Fox Searchlight and it looks to have just about everything a GDT fan can ask for.

The facility's greatest asset is its one-of-a-kind inhabitant, a humanoid creature who lives its life entirely underwater. When their paths cross, they each find themselves forever changed, but with grave consequences.
