I dunno if Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water is going to be a Deep Ones movie or a Abe Sapiens prequel in-all-but-name movie. Will watch it, either way. I kind of would groove to it being a “Deep Ones, but they aren’t all that bad” movie. But then, I’m weird.

PS: In case you’re wondering: supposedly, the reason why del Toro didn’t end up doing At The Mountains of Madness is because the idiot told the studios that it would end up rated R. And I don’t mean ‘idiot’ meanly: he’d agree with me. In fact, I read an interview the other day where del Toro was ruefully cursing himself for not lying about the intended rating until it was too late for the studio to do anything about it. Being ethical bites sometimes, huh?
Sometimes virtue is its own reward.

Seriously. At the Mountains of Madness and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress are Grail quest stuff for a certain type of directors.
And just as likely to go well.
