Overview
- In a new interview tied to his upcoming Frankenstein, del Toro said his long-planned At the Mountains of Madness will probably stay on his bucket list.
- He described the project as too big, too crazy, and likely R-rated, signaling obstacles that have kept studios from financing it.
- The adaptation has cycled through development since the mid-2000s with stints at Warner Bros. and Universal, including past attachments for Tom Cruise and producer James Cameron.
- Del Toro previously pitched the film to Netflix under his first-look deal, but the streamer did not move it into production.
- Fans may eventually see development materials, as del Toro has suggested releasing extensive concept art and VFX tests, including an ILM creature test he shared earlier.
