At the mountains of madness (movie)

[Kyriakos]

Any news about the movie about this large story by HPL? I read in wikipedia that Del Toro had trouble finding financing for it. I hope that the project is not alltogether abandoned...

Only other thing i have heard was that it was supposed to be in cinemas by 2012...

Looks like it's still being worked on ...
I can't believe that Del Toro is reponsible for both Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth, given how bad the former was and how great the latter.

Yay, this sounds great.

I don't think the silver screen could convey Lovecraft's brand of horror better than words.

I doubt that too, but i am too lazy to read At the mountains of madness, although i tried some times. So i will be looking forward to the movie
Besides, that novel is too based on scientific (or pseudo-scientific?) details and analysis, so it moves at a very slow pace.

Amusing that you of all people complain about slow moving stories.
There is a pretty good audio adaption of MoM if you can find it.

I didn't realize that most of Lovecraft books are available to read online, I'm gonna have to read this.

Just get through the first part. Once they get to the ruins, things become interesting. But that just might be me, since I love exposition of a fictional world.

I dont mind slow moving stories, but ATMOM was full of airplane descriptions and co-ordinates, and nothing at all of importance was happening. And i am not really interested in the topography of Antarctica so i got bored by that

I liked it too, but clearly a "B" movie. Pan's Labyrinth was artistic and fantastic.
