When Guillermo del Toro made official that he won´t be directing The Hobbit, both press and fans started to ask him which one would be his next project. It didnt take so lonf untill he made the announcement . Right after the Comic Con he surprised us all with the title of his new project. At the mountains of madness, based in the famous novel by H. P. Lovecraft. Even after his highly acclaimed  and Oscar winner Pan´s of the labyrinth, the studios wouldn´t give green light to the film. "Even now is very difficult for the studios to take the step of doing a rated R movie with a tough ending, no love story and set in period" said Del Toro a few months ago. But now, with a little bit of help, it looks like he´s finally ready to start shooting.

The director of Hellboy needed the help of a big studio. He needed someone in Hollywood with the money and the power enough to make his dreamed film happen. Well, the director of the two biggest grossing films ever, James Cameron, is going to produce In the Mountains of Madness, letting Del Toro to make the film the way he always has wanted. Cameron only had one condition: it has to be in 3D. Although the Mexican director has never shoot in 3D before, Cameron is sure that del Toro will love the experience of the stereoscopic cameras. "I´m not going to tell you how you have to do this movie, so I´m your ideal producer" says Cameron in this interview, refering to Guillermo del Toro. Truth be said, Cameron actually had one condition, but boy, what a condition!
