Tom Cruise...well, I don't necessarily hate him, but he didn't exactly 'class up' War of the Worlds. And with Cameron involved, not only does the budget balloon, but I think the movie will make the decision to give the inhuman monsters the moral high ground.<br /><br />So, yeah, better no adaptation at all than an adaptation in their hands.<br /><br />Plus, the simple issue remains that Mountains of Madness was a groundbreaking story in the 1930s, but now, everything it did has been copied over and over by others. So, the uninformed will just consider it a ripoff.Striker Znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-10411389054879316702011-03-09T10:27:02.164-04:002011-03-09T10:27:02.164-04:00The funny thing is, if they did a 'straight up...The funny thing is, if they did a 'straight up' adaptation of ATMOM it should be super-cheap. All of the nasty stuff happens off-page, and there's only one proper monster scene in the whole story. Use some CGI mattes for the vast Antarctic vistas, and you're done. <br /><br />Lovecraft is all about the anticipation, not about the actual reveal. He was really good at 'horrific suspense', which doesn't take a huge budget. It does, however take talent to translate to the screen.<br /><br />Actually, I never like ATMOM all that much. My favorite Lovecraft is still 'The Shadow out of Time'. Fantastic build-up, and even though you see the end coming the final sentence still packs a wallop.Blast Hardcheesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-83279981759840133702011-03-09T07:56:14.872-04:002011-03-09T07:56:14.872-04:00It's not real, it's some artist's idea...It's not real, it's some artist's idea of a joke.<br /><br />I think I stumbled on it at io9's web site, the guy did a bunch of faux TinTin covers to a bunch of Lovecraft's stories, and I couldn't resist a joke.Furious Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934529688753875751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24904037.post-74924054812196151542011-03-09T03:05:23.443-04:002011-03-09T03:05:23.443-04:00Dirty McDingus query's:
