Guillermo Del Toro on Dr. Strange ... "I talked with Neil Gaiman [about writing it]," he says. "I said, that's an interesting character because you can definitely make him more in the pulpy occult detective/magician mould and formula than was done in the Weird Tales, for example...the idea of a character that really dabbles in the occult in a way that's not X-Filey, where the supernatural is taken for granted. That's interesting...But I wouldn't use the suit!" - Empire Movie News, 2/8/08 [link]
