Holy crap, an At the Mountains of Madness movie is just too cool.


BTW, my cousin-in-law did the storyboards for Hellboy. I just had to say that

Interesting going back to this interview after seeing the movie now. Here's a notable excerpt:

CD: How long is the current cut of the movie?

GDT: 1 hour, 50 minutes.

CD: Is it gonna stay that length, you think?

GDT: It will stay that length until the DVD, yeah.

CD: Did a lot of footage get cut?

GDT: We cut 45 minutes of the movie. I think that the final cut on the DVD will probably be 2 hours and 10 minutes. We're including a lot of scenes that are more permissible to put back after the movie's release, because if someone is buying the special edition, they want to see more. As opposed to trying to be prudent...I think that an action-adventure movie shouldn't be longer than two hours, but that's my opinion.

The theatrical release of Hellboy ended up having a runtime of 2 hours, 12 minutes. Looks like we got the full final cut after all. I wonder what changed Del Toro's mind? LOTR?
