I'm so thankful you guys got this. I worked at the museum for ten years and was there that night as Security, just outside the doors to the JBL Theater. I remember having to chase off autograph scalpers (at the client's request), but always wished I could have attended this appearance. 💖
I am sleepless right now, imagining the marriage of these 2 masters. What an exceptional proposal, such a damn shame that this film won’t see the light of day 😢
I love love love the original fog one of the greatest horror movies of all time besides both holloween and especially the prince of darkness .as for the fog remake it wasn't to bad I know some people like to knock on it but it wasn't to bad. I thought Blake and his men had every right to do what they were doing in both films after what the ancestors did to them heck I would've done the same thing especially with that town making mockery of it and turning it into a spectacle and making some holiday about it . Sometimes you have to root for the horror villain.
if it was me I would have told her she had to take her top off because on film the fog would already be covering her up so audiences would be confused if she had two shirts on. ROFL!
Ah the memories... It was a really great convention. I am still astounded thinking of Baby the Stars Shine Bright steaming those racks of clothes in the Volunteer Room...
I like Lovecraft, but let's face it, there is not much that happens in ATMoM to build a whole movie around without significant embellishment, and many movies have done this, such as the Aliens franchise and John Carpenter's Thing. My person favourite ATMoM inspired work are the "Dr Who: The Seeds of Doom" episodes. Gave me goose bumps when I was a kid.
Let us be honest here...as with Blade Runner 2049 just give Guillermo tons of money and let him create his masterpiece. It wont be a box office runaway, what it will be is this mans dream of a story that set him off on the journey that has lead here. Can Lovecraft be truly filmed in conception?...yes, I know of those other films, but really?... really? 'The case of Charles Dexter Ward' would be my choice for a movie, it contains all the dread and horror of his Elder Gods mythos wrapped up in very cool story; oh and yea, leave room for imagination: let the audience ponder..hehe Anyway...just a thought, Peace
You can thank Ridley Scott for this movie never getting off the ground. I love that there are comments from 7 years ago on here all excited. Ugh. I still don't see why Del Toro couldn't make this film in 2018.
So for real, @00:56 he totally fucks over a cancer survivor's request and moves on to another question. Given that BSG focuses so much on Cancer, why wouldn't he talk about it or the implication it means for the show. I used to cherish Eddie but now he seems like a dick.
Almost EVERYTHING Del Toro has produced so far has a tinge of the 'Lovecratian'. Some of his sets, designs and creatures seem to leap right out of a Lovecraft story. Its obvious that he has a love for and (more importantly) an understanding of what makes this classic American fiction work. After many decades of embarrassing film fails in the quest to bring Lovecraft to the screen, here at last, we have hope for something truly terrifying!
Great to se a director who fully understands the implications of the lovecraft mythos and how to portray it. Showing the gods described in lovecrafts stories right away would greatly ruin their impact.
I think that’s part of the problem. The god in this story can’t even really be showed. Inherently hard to do in film. After watching the orphan, I have full faith he can do it right, but he might have to fight a lot of studio pressure.
