At The Mountains of Madness – Guillermo del Toro

‘Del Toro has demonstrated a passion for HP Lovecraft’s themes, creatures and settings throughout his entire career. At The Mountains of Madness would have seen Del Toro taking on one of Lovecraft’s most iconic novellas. In 2012, Ridley Scott made Prometheus, and the similarities in setting and tone were a key factor in the film not being made. Additionally, a disagreement on whether to go for a PG-13 or R seemed to further derail the film. The production was expensive and the studio was hesitant to invest in an R-rated film of that scale’
