    Loved mountains of madness. And with global warming and ice shelves falling off of Antartica, you could make it modern and plausable. Off falls an ice shelf, oh look theres an ancient city!

    Hollywood would botch it unless the right director did it as a pet project though.

    That stuff looks really cool except that the patch looks too modern. But then, I haven't seen any authentic expedition patches from that era to compare it to.

    We really need Hollywood to use their brains and make us a great lovecraft set in the 1920's - 30's.

    @gorehound: Copy that. The period setting, to me, helped make "The Call of Cthulhu" by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society much more enjoyable.

    @gorehound: Well, Guillermo del Toro has for a long time wanted to make At the Mountains of Madness movie in big budget, but the execs have been uncertain due to the lack of romance and happy ending, but after he's finished with the Hobbit, I'd wager he gets to do whatever he wants, so I think your wish may come true in a few years time...

    Who are those execs and how can I punch them in the face?

    @Isernbreegen: The Mist didn't have any of those, and the ending was the most awesome one I've seen since, precisely because of it.

    Only comment, and it's more of a nit-pick really, all of the text in those field journals would be serif fonts, no san-serif.

    Mountains Of Madness didn't blow me away, but after seeing that behemoth in The Mist, I really want to see Lovecraft on the big screen.
