Script Reviews for At the Mountain of Madness
Two different takes on the script for Guillermo del Toro's pet project - an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness". http://www.cc2k.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1324&Itemid=2 and http://www.cc2k.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1320&Itemid=2

del Toro is directing it? That's a relief. I was afraid some asshole like Shyamalan or Bay might try to work on it.

Excellent links Benson! :D What a find! This is something that will be definately worth waiting for. I'm a huge fan of H.P Lovecrafts works and "At the Mountains of Madness" is probably one of his best works. With Del Toro writing & directing this, I'm certain we'll get a genuinely scary film that will follow the original material faithfully as can be done. I notred that one of the articles made the comment that comparrisons will be drawn between Mountains of Madness & The Thing. Although both films have similar themes, shape changing aliens discovered in Antarica that represent a dire threat to humanity, I believe that they are two distinct tales. I am heartened that Del Toro will set the film in the 1930's, giving it the look like Peter Jacksons "King Kong". This will differentiate the films enough I feel but I'm sure that people will leap to make the comparrison anyway and there will be some who will decry that MoM is just a rip off of The Thing. I strongly believe this is not the case.
