"JAMES CAMERON HELPING GUILLERMO DEL TORO REACH THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS
Since Guillermo del Toro left the Hobbit prequels, it seems that nearly every week has had news about the director's future. Last week, the big news was that he was writing and producing a new Haunted Mansion movie for Disney. That, however, is not del Toro's next film as director, which is probably what fans are most excited to discover. This week, James Cameron came aboard to produce (for Universal Pictures) one of del Toro's long-planned dream projects: H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness. The 1931 novella is widely considered to be the core story of Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos," as it depicts an expedition to Antarctica that discovers a bizarre, ancient city created by an ancient race of creatures that worshipped terrifying gods, the mere knowledge of which can turn a human being insane. Lovecraft's stories have had a huge influence on pop culture (especially in recent years), but there has never been a major, big-budget studio movie based directly upon one of his Cthulhu stories. Guillermo del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness will be a 3D production, and Guillermo del Toro will start pre-production soon, and plans to start filming in the summer of 2011. At the Mountains of Madness has long been one of several projects vying to be GDT's next after The Hobbit. One of the other projects is a Frankenstein film for which makeup tests are already being prepared (even though it won't be his next film). Del Toro has also revealed that the recent talks about him possibly working on a new Van Helsing movie never went anywhere, and that project won't be happening."

I've only some few words: OMG! This is so amazing to be truth!
