The Shape Of Water

David Zindel, son of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Zindel, has slammed Fox Searchlight and Oscar-nominated director Guillermo Del Toro for developing The Shape Of Water without seeking rights to the 1969 play, Let Me Hear You Whisper. He said, "We are shocked that a major studio could make a film so obviously derived from my late father's work without anyone recognising it and coming to us for the rights."
