Hi Mr. Del Toro! There’s a pretty big H.P. Lovecraft fan-community on reddit, myself included, and we wanted to know a few things about the possible Mountains of Madness film.

/u/megadethbobtail says: "Do you know how important this undertaking is? Lovecraft fans have been waiting a long time for a great movie based on his work."

/u/AndSushi is concerned “about the disconnect between the script we've all read and the atmosphere of how the story really is? I'm sure he's heard it before, but it couldn't hurt for him to know that more Lovecraft fans are looking for something that really captures the feel of the story.”

/u/GavC asks: "is there any aspect of the book that will just be impossible, any scene that he already thinks, "oh shit, i'll have to change this for the screen? "

/u/wowbrow wanted “to make sure that the giant penguins won't be replaced by more traditional monsters”

I personally love your work, and want to know if the Kaiju in Pacific Rim had any Lovecraft inspiration. Rim is one of my favorite movies, and it screamed modern Lovecraft to me.

This entire thread has made me respect you. I do have a question, though. Was there anything the family owned that was just too absurd or expensive to you?

Well, maybe it had some type of secret contraption or Bat-Cave installed. They were filthy rich. EDIT: I capped too many letters.
