Guillermo Del Toro meets H.P. Lovecraft

Folks who know me also know my fondness for H.P. Lovecraft . Usually movie adaptations of his work translate poorly or on the flipside are true enough to be too damn weird. He wrote some seriously strange stuff and is the father of such authors as Stephen King (The Mist),  Brian Lumley, and Ramsey Campbell to name just a few. One of the better movie directors of our time (Guillermo del Toro) has filtered Lovecraft’s influence into many of his films and is apparently hard and getting At the Mountains of Madness turned into a reasonably faithful film adaptation. Granted the films he makes aer not exactly mainstream, but neither is Lovecraft. This may be pretty amazing. Here is a link to a Lovecraft specific blog with some tidbits.
