BACKSTAGE
Q. This movie has been so embraced by audiences and the industry, I'm wondering when you began to know that you were working on something special and what told you that?
A. Well, I think it was always with Guillermo, everything was on the restaurant, and when he told us the story about Pan's Labyrinth, we were thinking this is an amazing story. We want to be on that movie for sure. And that's the beginning. On the restaurant, always Guillermo on the restaurant and a good idea is something to think of.
