Del Toro’s At the Mountains of Madness

On this episode of The Inflection Cut, Halstead and Eric look at Guillermo del Toro's many attempts to get his passion project, an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novel At the Mountains of Madness, to the big screen. At one point, we were mere inches from a $150 million blockbuster written and directed by Del Toro, produced by James Cameron, and co-starring Tom Cruise! As always, the team tackles the questions that really matter, like:

• What if instead of Kaijus vs. Mecha in 2012, we got Tel Toro, Cameron, and Cruise vs. Cthulhu?
• Was the world ready for a big-budget Hollywood take on Cosmic Horror?
• What film drove the stake through Mountains fo Madness' heart? Was it Prometheus or The Hobbit?

These questions and many more are answered in this month's The Inflection Cut!
