Horror At the Mountains of Madness - Guillermo Del Toro's Next Project! - Part 1

[Boom]

Well people would be free to not watch the film if Lovecraft's racism would tarnish their enjoyment of his fictitious work.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

 

[Boom]

Please for the love of God let this be a hint that the project has been revived.

Netflix funds 200M crap like Red Notice and The Gray Man, they can certainly fund this lol

When GDT last talked about it, he said he wanted to do a complete rewrite of the script and make the movie smaller. So he might not even need that much.

Come on, Guillermo. You can't drop this **** completely out of the blue and not have it be your next movie.

 

[#root]

Oh wow that looks so freaky .

 

[Luigi]

It's not nice to tease us like that.

Cancelled Movie Report has a great 2-part audio report & script recreation for anyone interested. Check it out Spotify or whenever you get your podcast.

Lots of great interview clips from GDT.

 

[Boom]

If GDT gets another opportunity to make this movie, I do hope he circles back to the shoggoth design. Don't get me wrong, the design in the CG test is terrifying in its own right. But it is more evocative of Carpenter's Thing than it is the creature from Lovecraft's novella.

I always envisioned the shoggoth as something akin to "The Nightmare" in Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.

I mean really, swap the red glow with green and that's a Lovecraft shoggoth.

 

[Albright]

ah that Little Nemo adaptation is great…the Netflix one looks awful

Guillermo del Toro Interview: ‘Pinocchio’ Took Decades to Pull Off | IndieWire

The filmmaker revealed to IndieWire that he recently spoke with VFX veteran Phil Tippett about translating his original pitch for “Madness” into a stop-motion production along the lines of his latest achievement. “I said it would be ideal to do ‘Mountains of Madness’ as stop-motion,” he said. “You watch the animation in a more rapturous way than live action. It’s almost a hypnotic act, and the relationship to the story becomes more intimate in that way.”

 

[Boom]

I'd prefer live action, but I would see it in whatever incarnation GDT wanted.

I suppose this shouldn't surprise me. GDT was not shy about his love for Mad God.

 

[GothamCity]

Yeah i also like live action more.
His hellboy films are still the best films he made in my opinion.

Also he would be perfect for making a Antman, Dr. Strange or Thor film.

 

[Sawyer]

Don’t tease, Guillermo…

 

[Deck Rickard]

It still amazes me that not even Tom Cruise could get this project made. This is a man who pitches movies to studios based on insanely elaborate ways the production could kill him.

 

[TheVileOne]

EDIT:

Nevermind, I found it. It's too bad, but I kind of get it. Maybe one of these days he will get to make it or someone will be able to film his script.

But it would be very expensive and have to be r-rated. So it's a tough sell for studios.

 

[Luigi]

Don’t tease, Guillermo…

"Hope is a dangerous thing, Andy."

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Anyone listen to the Cancelled Movie Report podcast where they do a read through of the script, with one of the voice actors doing a Tom Cruise impression (because Cruise was attached to the project)?

15 Years Later, Guillermo del Toro's Greatest Unmade Sci-Fi Movie Is Definitely Dead

The 'Frankenstein' director gives a sad update on his long-gestating 'At The Mountains of Madness' movie.

www.inverse.com

I recently spoke with the director at a special New York screening of Frankenstein, where I asked him if there was any chance of his At the Mountains of Madness movie being resurrected. But while del Toro expressed hope that it might someday happen, he seemed to confirm that the project is likely done.

"I don't think so, I would hope so,” del Toro told Inverse. “It depends, it's a big movie. It's a complicated movie to shoot. It is R-rated. So I don't think people are lining up to do it."

 

[Boom]

Netflix gave the Russo Bros $300 mil for Gray Man, Guillermo.

 

[donuts]

I kinda hope GDT gets away from Netflix in the near future. I know that his projects are a tough sell, but I'd like to work under studios which care about theatrical exhibition.
