Guillermo del Toro has wanted to film H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness for some time now and his vision is moving closer to reality. The movie has been given the green light. James Cameron is set to produce and the film is to be in 3D.
To the many, many people who bring up H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness (the book that combines exploratory adventure, science fiction and Lovecraft’s tales of great, horrible old gods) every time Guillermo del Toro has a window of availability: this one’s for you. The director has talked about wanting to adapt Lovecraft’s story for many years, but it always seemed like a really tough sell. After all, what studio wants to finance an expensive, dark, R-rated film like this?
As it turns out, that studio appears to be Universal. Can’t hurt that James Cameron has come aboard to produce. Has the time finally come for a big-budget Lovecraft film?
