As you may or may not know, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is bringing his passion project At The Mountains of Madness to screens with a shoot kicking off in the summer of this year. For a while now none other than Tom Cruise has been linked to the project, a rumour often deflected and denied by del Toro, but, while out doing the press rounds for Sanctum, which is released everywhere today, producer James Cameron spilled the beans that Cruise is indeed involved with the project.
Speaking to MTV, Cameron said: “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,” he added. “Hopefully we’ll be shooting by June or July.”
The film, based on the novella by HP Lovecraft, follows an Antarctic expedition and its discovery of a lost civilization.
Cameron is producing.
