Media convergence: Here’s a movie trailer for a book by Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro is known for fantastical movies like Hellboy I and II, and Pan’s Labyrinth. Now he’s working on The Hobbit, which sounds pretty damn good to me. But before that, he’s decided to write a book. He teamed up with noted crime author Chuck Hogan to put out “The Strain” — volume one in what will be a trilogy.

And, del Toro being del Toro, he made a movie trailer for the book, which you can watch above. I think it looks killer!

Wired has a piece on the trailer here, but they’ve also got an interview with del Toro, too, wherein he talks about some of his inspiration, what’s he’s aiming for with the book (on sale June 2) and a rundown of his upcoming projects.
