In recent year(s?) (basically, since the release of Pan's Labyrinth), I have paid very close attention to many of Del Toro's interviews/press.

Dude's smart.

Really, REALLY fucking smart.

Smart enough that I will see anything he directs on principle alone. Even The Hobbit, and I fucking hate Tolkien.

Dude may be smart, but I just don't see Mountains Of Madness transferring to the small screen.

But, I have been wrong before.

funt, have you seen the orphanage yet?I admit to being too much of a pussy to see horror/scary movies on a big screen, so I'll probably be waiting for DVD. I've heard a lot of good (and some bad) about it, though.

Hellboy? Hellboy II?
The Devils Backbone is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen.
Blade 2 and Mimic also werent bad movies either.

Hellboy? Hellboy II?So he's a comic book nerd. Who cares? Doesn't negate his intellect.

I was asking more in regard to your "I will see anything he directs on principle alone."

Its just a question, I didn't offer any value judgements. Heck, maybe Hellboy is my favorite movie.

H.P. Lovecraft is one of my favorite authors so I hope he pulls it off.
