(Aw, give Keanu a turn. You guys are mean.)
Ever since Guillermo Del Toro announced that he wouldn’t be directing The Hobbit and he left that sheep-smelling, mongoloid colony of New Zealand, there’d been rampant (RAMPANT) speculation as to what his next project would be. Now Deadline says he’ll be directing an adaptation of the HP Lovecraft novel At the Mountains of Madness, which will be shot in 3D (not post-converted) and produced by James Cameron. Last time I let Del Toro on my lovecraft, he broke the seat. Wakka wakka (*football to the groin*) (*bike horn*)
In the Lovecraft tale, a gruesome discovery made during a scientific expedition to the South Pole in the 1930s hints at the true origin of mankind having come from elder gods from another planet. Bad things happen when those life forms are awakened.
It goes into pre-production in a few weeks and is scheduled to begin shooting next year. I haven’t read the book, but ThePlaylist mentions an “underlying anti-semitism”, which led me to a choice Lovecraft quote:
The mass of contemporary Jews are hopeless as far as America is concerned. They are the product of alien blood, & inherit alien ideals, impulses, & emotions which forever preclude the possibility of wholesale assimilation… On our side there is a shuddering physical repugnance to most Semitic types…so that wherever the Wandering Jew wanders, he will have to content himself with his own society till he disappears or is killed off in some sudden outburst of mad physical loathing on our part. I’ve easily felt able to slaughter a score or two when jammed in a N.Y. subway train.
He wrote that in 1926, and the amazing thing is how true it holds even today. Wait, what? (Incidentally, Lovecraft also owned a cat named “Ni**er Man”). Said Mel Gibson, “WAIT A MINUTE, SUGARTITS, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THESE ARE JEW ALIENS? QUICK, I’LL GET THE BASEBALL BAT, YOU START BLOWING ME! IT’LL BE JUST LIKE THE SET OF SIGNS! SOOWEE! SOOWEE!
Haha, I love you, easy jokes.

Yes, the NYC subway sucks, but it never made me hate the Jews.
Just tourists.
These guys wouldn’t hate Jews so much if they just hired them to do their taxes.
Oh no. I won’t be reading anymore HP Lovecraft. I tried using one of his books once. The fucking pages kept jamming. Now I only read Sir Arthur Cannon Doyle.
If you read that Lovecraft rant with Mel Gibson’s voice and add in some panting, it’s pretty entertaining.
Jew aliens? South Park did it.
I still say Benicio is the better of the bull. He can blow himself up to Guillermo-esque proportions, then take that weight right off for his next role. Also, mumbling.
NOW STICK YOUR FINGERS IN MY THRESHER
H.P. Lovecraft is apparently just a nom (nom, nom) de plume for the retired John Rocker
i’m not quite so sure why you guys are SO concerned with the Jews when Keanu is clearly having a rough time of it up there.
So, do we finally get to see what Sutter Cane has in store for Sam Neill when he leaves his cell or what?
I’d give Keanu a hug, as long as there are no gays around.
HEY! SWEET-TITS! THEY SHOULD NAME THIS MOVIE Je-Jews!
Wait, Cocoon was about black people, right?
BLOW ME ANYWAY!!!!
That quote might explain why WoL doesn’t have any dwarves in it.

Bike Helmet Keanu!
As a Jew, I’m deeply offended. I stopped reading the quote when I found that the word ‘wholesale’ wasn’t a hotlink.
They are the product of alien blood, & inherit alien ideals, impulses, & emotions…
Between the Jews and the Scientologists, it’s a wonder anyone in Hollywood would touch a Lovecraft project.

But what does he think about the darkies?

Wa’qa wa’qa! War is good for business, and if you ever wonder where them Palestinians get all of the Israeli flags they burn, no doubt a Jew sold them! Ma Zel Tov!

Fun but true fact: Mel G(AKA Racist Spice) has for years owned the rights to the classic british film “The Dambusters”, which is not only the origin of one of the most famous british soccer songs, but was also a major inspiration for George Lucas when he made “Star Wars”. The final attack on the death star is almost a shot-for-shot, word-for-word recreation of the final attack on the German Dams.
The central character of the film, a British Wing Commander during WWII, has a black Labrador called “Nigger”, who is run over and killed just before the final mission against the Nazis.
In honor of his dog’s memory, the word “Nigger” is used as a secret code word in the final radio transmission by the bomber squadron to let HQ know the mission was a success.
At the end of the movie, British HQ is gathered around the radio operator, biting their nails, when the coded message comes in.
The radio operator deciphers it, and with tears of joy welling in his eyes, shouts out: “Sir! It’s Nigger!” And the whole room erupts into applause.
Mel G has been trying to get a remake made for decades. No word on whether or not there will be a scene where a pack of black labradors rape his ex-wife….
Brett Ratner was interested in doing a Lovecraft project, but he quickly backed out when he realized it was not a documentary-slash-homage to the craft services people.
Dull, but also true fact: Gibson dropped the rights half a decade ago. They were picked up by sir David Frost (British journalist type, the Frost/Nixon guy); Peter Jackson was supposed to direct, with a script by Stephen Fry. No idea of its current status though.
This, from a year and change ago, via the wikipoop (I got the director/producer thing mixed up, obviously):
Thanks, Rimmer. You corrected my inaccuracies via the internet using information instead of opinion, proper diction instead of jargon, and politeness instead of smug superiority, a rare quality these days.
You fuckin’ homo….
Damn it, I confused del Toro with Peter Jackson. For a second there I thought that this sounded like an awesome idea.
It’s ok, Ups, I’m sure it can happen to anybody. We can just cuddle.
*wanh wanh wannnhhh* Aliens, you don’t say Mr. Cameron.
Nozin’ Aroun’, Nozin’ Aroun’ … Nozin’ Aroun’, Nozin’ Aroun’
The show made by “young adults” for “young adults”!
I recently struggled through “At the Mountains of Madness”. I didn’t pick up on any anti-Semitism, but I did pick up on a lot of tedious technical talk and a HUUUGE anti-climax of an ending.
This movie should be awesome!
It’s a shame Guy Gibson’s dog never got to meet H.P.
sauceLovecraft’s cat.A lot of people say that young adults are violent, right? But how would you feel if you were old enough to have sexual intercourse with the partner of your choice, and yet you could not drink in pubs?
I’m 16, right? I can join in the Army, the Navy and the Air Force — but I can’t drink in pubs. When will the government, right, realize that young adults have a valid contribution to give to society?
Our World Too!
Ni**er please eat your friskies.
@ Mark it Zero: Kudos for the In the Mouth of Madness reference. That movie needs all the love it can get. Truly underrated.
And on that note, i believe the end of the world will be upon us when this movie will be released. Here’s how it’ll go down – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_HPFoelMQc
You can’t escape Elder Gods in 3D!
@ Mark it Zero:
‘So, do we finally get to see what Sutter Cane has in store for Sam Neill when he leaves his cell or what?’
Sutter Cane casts Sam Neill in his movie. Hapless movie-goers are duped into thinking they’re watching 3D when in actual fact the ancient ones are genuinely emerging from the screen. Movie-goers are devoured.
@ Heterosexualy.Attracted.To.Christian.Bale:
Yeah, it’s an awesome film.
