Guillermo del Toro still wants to make his unmade H.P. Lovecraft project – and has even pꦇitched it to Netf𒀰lix.

The director has an ongoing first-look deal with the streamer and among the initial projects he showed Netflix was🐈 his adaptation of Lovecraft's novella At the Mountains of Madness.

Del Toro first tried to adapt the project way back in 2006, then later in 2011 with Tom Cruise🐻 attached to star. Both attempts eventually fell through. 

Lovecraft's novella chronicles a doomed expedition to Antarctica, with the narrator attempting to stop another expedition to the cont🐎inent by revealing the horrors uncovered on his own trip.

"The thing with Mountains is, the screenplay I co-wrote 15 years ago is not the screenplay I would do now, so I need to do a rewrite," the director said. "Not only to scale it down somehow, but because back then I was trying to bridge the scale of it with elemen𓃲ts that made it somewhat be able to go through the studio machinery."

He added: "And I think I don't need to reconcile that anymore. I can go to a far mor⭕e esoteric, weirder, smaller version of it wher🐟e I can go back to some of the scenes that were left out. Some of the big set pieces I designed, for example, I have no appetite for. I've already done this or that giant set piece. I feel like going into a weirder direction. I know a few things will stay, I know the ending we have is one of the most intriguing, weird, unsettling endings for me, so there's about four horror set pieces that I love in the original script." 

Del Toro continued to explain that he needs time to rewrite the project, and is currently developing two screenplays, finishing Pinocchio, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查🐠询:producing his horror antholog🌱y series Cabinets of Curiosity &nd🦋ash; but if Mountains of Madness were to get made, he would like to go for a mostly unknown cast. 

It remains to be seen if del Toro's weirder take on the story will make it to Netflix, but in the meantime, his next projec♛t to be released is Nightmare🌱 Alley, which arrives this December 17.
