I know. Between At the Mountains of Madness and The Hobbit, I've been a very sad GTD fan...I was really looking forward to his version of The Hobbit, I'm still a bit more upset about that then At the Mountains of Madness...But that's just because I love The Hobbit. Hopefully this one actually makes it to production and actually comes out. I need a new GTD movie now before I burn out my blus of his other films.

To be fair, most of the things hes signed on for fall through. I mean, he waited for two years to direct The Hobbit before he walked because he kept having to turn down jobs and he couldn't wait any longer. Then he was going to do At the Mountains of Madness and that fell through. As long as he gets something off the ground, I'll be happy.

I think this project was always getting worked on and Del Toro wasnt going to direct but now that ATMOM is dead they offered him the job and he took it so that's why it's moving fast. Could be wrong though as I haven't read up to much on this film.

He had been developing this one under the radar for a while, but he wasn't sure if he was going to direct it or not. But then Universal killed At the Mountains of Madness, and they jumped at hte chance to get him to sign on and direct it. They were going to try to convince him to do Pacific Rim before At the Mountains of Madness to begin with, if the rumors were in fact true. But seeing as how Universal killed the project, they didn't have to beg or give him a ton of money to do it. He needed a new project, and this happened to be one he had been helping develop to produce. I'm just glad he was able to get a project so fast because as I've stated, I love GTD and I'm tired of not getting a new movie by him.
