OMFG of the Day: Guillermo Del Toro, James Cameron Teaming for ‘At The Mountains Of Madness’
Monster news just blasted open over at Deadline who is reporting that James Cameron (Avatar, Aliens, The Terminator, Piranha 2) has come aboard to produce Guillermo Del Toro’s highly anticipated At the Mountains of Madness! The film will be a big ticket item, shot in 3D. Cameron’s presence helped win over the studio with pre-production beginning in the next few weeks, and shoot next summer. 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. The project is years in the works for del Toro and producers Susan Montford and Don Murphy (Splice, Natural Born Killers, Transformers), and it is easily the most ambitious project contemplated by the Pan’s Labyrinth director.

‘Dinosaurs of the Wild West’ Trailer – ‘Primitive War’ Director Adds Dinosaurs to the Western Genre!
The director of last year’s Vietnam dinosaur movie Primitive War, Luke Sparke is back this year with another brand new twist on the dinosaur movie: Dinosaurs of the Wild West.
Inspired by the artwork of creator Shaun Keenan and expanded into an original cinematic universe by filmmaker Luke Sparke, the project blends western frontier mythology with a world where dinosaurs and humans have existed side by side for generations.
A 2-part cinematic event, Dinosaurs of the Wild West is now funding on Kickstarter.
Pre-ordering the first two episodes on Kickstarter is currently the only way you can experience this new frontier. And you’ve got just 30 days to place your pre-order through Kickstarter.
Watch the official trailer for Dinosaurs of the Wild West below.
Here’s the official synopsis: “In an alternate frontier, humanity navigates a dangerous land where every journey, every town, and every war depend on the giant creatures that shaped civilization itself. But now, something is rising that threatens to change the world and the dinosaur connection forever. Dinosaurs of the Wild West is an epic adventure series that reimagines the American frontier through a world millions of years in the making.”
“This is an opportunity for dinosaur enthusiasts, Primitive War fans and cinema buffs to be a part of the production process and create something the world has never seen. We want to create something that feels completely fresh while still capturing the sense of wonder and adventure that first made us fall in love with dinosaur stories,” said Sparke.
Also coming soon from Luke Sparke? Primitive War 2! Expanding the scope and mythology, Primitive War 2 is said to be a darker, more intense escalation — and more grounded war epic — continuing the distinctive blend of military realism and survival horror.
