Guillermo Del Toro’s Upcoming Film, Sapphis, Appears To Carol.
Key Sentence:
- Lesbian longing between Cate Blanchett also Rooney Mara intensifies with this first look at Del Toro’s Alley Nightmare.
Guillermo del Toro first released a look at the upcoming thriller Nightmare Alley, starring Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper, Willem Dafoe, and Rooney Mara.
Based on William Lindsay’s 1946 novel of the same name, this film follows Guillermo Del Toro Cooper as a former carnival worker. Who turns into a big-city nightclub player and convinces people that he can read minds. Blanchett is a psychiatrist who initially tries to expose him as a con artist but quickly becomes involved in his plans.
However, fans of the director were quick to point Guillermo Del Toro out the similarities between the image from the film and the lesbian film Carol. The footage shows Mara (who plays Cooper’s girlfriend) staring longingly at Blanchett, closely resembling the film’s romance in the 2015 film.
The medieval outfits in the video closely resemble the costumes of Blanchett’s Carol Aird. And Mara’s Theresa Bellivet in Todd Haynes’ sapphire film. So you can imagine the couple stepping out of the camera to enjoy a soft serving of spinach and a hard-boiled egg.
And a dry martini. With olives. Or Blanchett forgot her gloves in hopes that Mara would “bring them back.”
An earlier image shared in 2020 shows the couple standing in the snow at the Nightmare Alley location in a very compact frame to Carol in tone and energy. Some fans even called the film del Toro Carol 2.

“It happened to me in the past at Purple Peak where people were waiting for horror movies. I know it’s a gothic romance, but it’s tough to convey,” he said. But yes, no supernatural Elements. It is entirely based on the real world. Nothing fantastic about it. It’s a wholly different film from my usual films, but yes, my title and name will give that impression.”
Del Toro adds, “What’s weird is that when I approached Alley of Nightmares, I said I wasn’t stereotyping the genre. I wasn’t going to make artifacts. I wasn’t going to make anything. Fedora. I wanted to create a novel universe, one that was a little gritty but also magical. It had a very strange – and mystical, mystical appeal to it. I used to be very interested in that possibility.”
