Avatar director James Cameron is teaming up with Hellboy helmer Guillermo del Toro to produce the movie adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s At The Mountains Of Madness.

As well as producing, del Toro will also direct the movie.

I have taken the liberty of copying and pasting the plot synopsis from Wikipedia…

The story is written in first-person perspective by the geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. On a previous expedition there, a party of scholars from Miskatonic University, led by Dyer, discovered fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains taller than the Himalayas.

At The Mountains Of Madness will be filmed in 3D. At this moment in time no other details like cast and release dates have been announced.

We’ll keep you posted.
