Tom Cruise Wants To Climb THE MOUNTAIN OF MADNESS

Back in September, there were rumors that director Guillermo Del Toro wanted Tom Cruise to star in his adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s AT THE MOUNTAIN OF MADNESS. Producer James Cameron told MTV that Cruise is interested in the project..

“Tom does want to do the picture,”
“I don’t think we have a deal with him yet, but we’re hoping to get that closed soon. Guillermo is madly working on a new draft of the script,” he added. “Hopefully we’ll be shooting by June or July.”

AT THE MOUNTAIN OF MADNESS will be shot in 3D using FUSION 3D Cameras from PACE. They’ve fast tracked the project and it will start in the 2nd quarter of 2011. The book originally published in 1936 was about a group of explorers in Antartica who stumble onto a group of creatures called “Elder Things” and what comes after that is terror after terror.
