Guillermo Del Toro To Direct The Ghost Story CRIMSON PEAK
(it’s) another Mount Everest of the haunted house movie. I loved the way that Kubrick had such control over the big sets he used, and how much big production value there was. I think people are getting used to horror subjects done as found footage or B-value budgets. I wanted this to feel like a throwback.He also described Crimson Peak as:
a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules.This doesn’t mean his adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness is dead; on the contrary, he hopes to finally get the film made with Legendary:
They love (At the Mountains of Madness), but we just finished Pacific Rim. They want to let that film happen [it opens July 12] and then my hope is, down the line we can do it.This guy is not giving up that easily. He is eyeing a February 2014 start for Crimson Peak. Stay tuned.
