One of the biggest pieces of writing in the Sci-Fi world is easily H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountain of Madness, which has been rumored as a possible film adaptation project for monster movie icon Guillermo del Toro for quite some time. With so many years gone by since he first mentioned the idea, will we ever get to his this novella come to life on the big screen? A new interview with the Wall Street Journal has our answers!

The Hellboy filmmaker was asked whether or not his recent meetings with Legendary Pictures have furthered his hopes of making this adaptation.

"That's exactly what I discussed with them," he explained. "I said to them, that's the movie that I would really love to do one day, and it's still expensive, it's still ... I think that now, with the way I've seen PG-13 become more and more flexible, I think I could do it PG-13 now, so I'm going to explore it with [Legendary], to be as horrifying as I can, but to not be quite as graphic."

A PG-13 version of Lovecraft? Do you think the director can pull this off?

 He added: "There's basically one or two scenes in the book that people don't remember that are pretty graphic. Namely, for example, the human autopsy that the aliens do, which is a very shocking moment. But I think I can find ways of doing it. We'll see. It's certainly a possibility in the future. Legendary was very close to doing it at one point, so I know they love the screenplay. So, we'll see. Hopefully it'll happen. It's certainly one of the movies I would love to do"

So there you have it: Guillermo del Toro is hoping to make this movie as soon as he can.
