In 1999, del Toro was attached to write and direct an adaptation of [[Katsuhiro Otomo]]'s ''[[Domu: A Child's Dream]]'' for [[Touchstone Pictures]], with [[Don Murphy]]'s Angry Films producing.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=Variety Staff|url=https://variety.com/1999/voices/columns/del-toro-brings-horror-comic-to-disney-1117492325/|title= Del Toro brings horror comic to Disney|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=March 15, 1999|access-date=December 16, 2023}}</ref> In 2002, after the success of ''[[Blade II]]'', del Toro said that he tried to make the film in the following years, but his efforts were hamstrung by international legalities. <blockquote>"Goddamn it, we haven't even got the rights. We've been negotiating the rights for four years, which goes to prove Japanese lawyers are even more complex than American lawyers. The moment we have the rights I would go ahead and write it."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2002-03-27/guillermo-del-toro-on-domu |title=Guillermo del Toro on Domu - News - Anime News Network |access-date=2016-11-19 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220150426/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2002-03-27/guillermo-del-toro-on-domu |archive-date=2016-12-20 }}</ref></blockquote>
In 2006, Otomo revealed that there were problems with the producer and that he did not know what the current status of the film was, but stated, "I gave Del Toro the rights, though, so as far as I'm concerned, if it ever gets made, he is the one who will make it."<ref name="midnight">{{cite news|url=http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/katsuhiro-otomo/|title=Midnight Eye interview: Katsuhiro Otomo |work=[[Midnight Eye]]|date=2006-12-29|access-date=2021-09-27}}</ref>
