For years now, director Guillermo Del Toro has been trying to bring H.P Lovecraft's demythology of the Cthulhu legend to the big screen. Unfortunately, Warner Bros wouldn't finance his vision time after time and the project stalled leaving Del Toro to move onward to Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy 2 while fans of H.P Lovecraft eagerly awaiting this adaptation had their hopes dashed. Not anymore, says Latino Review. Once Del Toro officially wraps up his post production work on Hellboy, he will be directing Lovecraft's AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. While it is rumored that the WB did finally agree to finance the project in the end, Universal Pictures has come into the picture and has a deal ready to go with Del Toro.
Plot Concept: The film is an adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft novel, which features a chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveriesand their encounter with untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization.
This will not be filmed before the impending June 2008 strike, Lovecraft fans. Hellboy 2's post production will likely take the bulk of his time leading into the early months of 2008 and Del Toro has already said he'll take a few months off after the film which will lead into the possible strike. But he may begin work on this long awaited project by the time the Hellboy sequel hits theaters ( August 1, 2008) if the strike has finished and all goes to plan.
