Guillermo del Toro & James Cameron To Adapt HP Lovecraft Novella

Since exiting The Hobbit a couple months ago we’ve all been waiting to hear which movie director Guillermo del Toro would helm next. Looks like we have our answer. According to Deadline, he will shoot a 3D adaptation of the HP Lovecraft story At the Mountains of Madness. Coming aboard to produce will be none other than the King of the World himself, James Cameron. Damn, it’s like when Randy “Macho Man” Savage joined forces with Hulk Hogan to form the Megapowers. Rumor has it del Toro has a vicious leg drop.

What the hell is At the Mountains of Madness about you ask? Enlighten us Deadline:

In the Lovecraft tale, a gruesome discovery made during a scientific expedition to the South Pole in the 1930s  hints at the true origin of mankind having come from elder gods from another planet. Bad things happen when those life forms are awakened.

Spooky. I used to read Lovecraft in college and thought his stuff was amazing. I also did a lot of shrooms during those days, so I could be confusing his writing with a psychotropic trip. Whatever the case, I am pumped to see what del Toro and Cameron will do with the material. As far as visionaries go, they are two of the very best.
