Do you guys remember those rumblings not too long ago that had Tom Cruise and/or James McAvoy up for the lead role in Guillermo del Toro’s AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS? Of course you do. Well it seems those rumblings aren’t going away anytime soon…
MTV recently had a chance to chat it up with James Cameron while he was out promoting SANCTUM and the filmmaker, who is producing AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, had the following to say in regards to Tom Cruise starring in the film:
“Tom does want to do the picture. I don’t think we have a deal with him yet, but we’re hoping to get that closed soon. Guillermo is madly working on a new draft of the script. Hopefully we’ll be shooting by June or July.”
Seems like there’s a pretty good chance Cruise will end up with the role. You guys feeling that or were you thinking of someone else that’s perfect to battle those tentacles? Hit us with your thoughts below!
The story is written in first-person perspective by the geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. On a previous expedition there, a party of scholars from Miskatonic University, led by Dyer, discovered fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains taller than the Himalayas.
