The filmmaker has reportedly delayed the long-gestating project until after he completes work and promotion on 'The Shape of Water', which is due out on December 8.

Del Toro signed on to direct the remake over a year and a half ago.

But with the 'Shape of Water' commitments and the potential awards season activity, the project will now resume next year, pushing the release to 2020.
