I've had this idea for a while that Oswald's personality should be a Mickey that let his global wide fame get to his head. The irony being that not a single person besides Ortensia (and maybe the Fab 5 if they want to have Oswald be a part of the Mickey and Friends™ brand) cares about him, which further drives his ego and his various schemes to gain the attention he craves that always lead to trouble.

Really great video. Check out a podcast called Best Movies Never Made. There’s an episode where they discuss this and go through a version of the screenplay that Del Toro was working on when James Cameron first came on board. Sadly it’s not a really faithful adaptation. But maybe since then he has written a version that’s closer to the source material. I for one would love to see a stop motion version.

I Get It Sorta Like How The Moxy Show (1993-2000) Was Cartoon Network's first creation but the show that CN the Insentive to pursuit original programming was Space Ghost Coast To Coast BTW Happy 30th B-Day Space Ghost loved your show back then huge huge fan RIP C. Martin Crocker

Disney needs the to make a series based on Floyd Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse comic. Those were polar opposite of the mascot Mickey. Oswald should have his own series. Disney have not used him much since he was purchased. I was looking forward to Oswald new series.

Disney traded a human being for Oswald, and they BARELY do anything with him

Pleaseee Disney do something with my boy Oswald, he's the reason why I got back into liking you guys again because he had so much of a backbone compared to Disney

of course they're too busy making those emotionless reboots

Hollywood effs everything up. Be careful what you wish for 🫠

At The Mountains Of Madness is a good candidate for being turned into a movie, it even has a sequel The Shadow Out Of Time... Not all the characters have to be male, so there is room for romance. I would do Nyarlothotep, all atmosphere, so much room for character development. All of his "fragments" and super short stories have a lot of room for expansion.

I really hope fans remake a darker epic mickey since both are not owned by Disney and in every loading screen just have it say in big red letters (NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISNEY BRAND)

Really? Why though?

I can't believe I've been waiting for this movie for 20 years now.

Yes, the problem is depiction. You must leave something out of frame and only keep it in frame for a small amount of time. Keep in on screen for a visceral impact of size without selling out the total image. The alien astronaut in Alien, the smoky appearance of Mr. Barlow in Salem's Lot, the titanic chain in "Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow". It cannot be an action scene otherwise it would end up like Godzilla. There must be a payoff, but how to stage it without it becoming "Starship Troopers.

GEE MARROW. Moving on.

I'll happily wait another 30 years if it's helmed by Guillermo ❤

Prometheus kidnapped the chance to make MoM

you guys did go to war with Muslims back in 2004 by you own logic you guys are racist and you did go to war against China too in WW2 = also racist and you guys did have slavery = also racist

really Lovecraft being racist and " anti - semetic " aw yeah rich coming from the US who genocide Indian ppl and have black face in Hollywood. and also cover up for creeps like the Mossad and Ebstein nice double standards guys. if a racist can write story's batter, then the Zionist AI cash grab with " woke " message we see today this shout speak volumes that you guys need to rethink your life choses.

thats weird ai was pg 13 but with a warning this is new

I just wanted to add my two cents about why a Lovecraft movie would be hard to adapt. I assert that the audiovisual spectrum can be just as unclear and abstract as the written descriptions of the inky evil of Lovecraft’s creations. To summarize: “Skill issue”

Narrator: PLEASE learn how to pronounce the name "Guillermo." It's quite easy and the Spanish language is beautiful; give it respect.

The main problem with adapting "At The Mountains of Madness" is (imho) that John Carpenter already went there, using so many themes from the story in his version of "The Thing" - the isolated snowy setting, the other team that met a sticky end, the attack on the dogs, the shapeshifting creature, the fact that the "thing" is an alien from another world that's lain dormant until disturbed, and that it'll spell doom for mankind if it reaches human civilisation - that any faithful adaptation of the Lovecraft story is going to seem derivative, just because Carpenter already got there first with the best bits of "At the Mountains of Madness." If you think about it, the parts from the original story that Carpenter _didn't_ use were basically the bits that wouldn't be very cinematic anyway, i.e. archaeology (piecing together the story of the alien civilisation from exploring their "abandoned" city and looking at the historical murals they left) and ... giant penguins. Yep, giant blind cave-penguins. They work just fine on the page, but depicting them on-screen as something scary without raising unintentional mirth would be a challenge even for a director as skilled as Guillermo del Toro.

"God laughs when we make plans." I must be a riot to him then

I don't think I've ever really liked anything delToro has ever made.. not really. And certainly not to the standards common folk seem to do. He is decent at his job, but certainly not the second coming of Christ.. not even close.

Great video but even more amazing statement on the arrogance of gatekeepers. HP was not that good of a writer. His characters were terrible, he never had much of a plot other than to push the reader to see an over described monster. But, just as Del Torro said, his atmosphere is brilliant. Personally, I would rather see Dreamquest than Mountains but Mountains is far more accessible.

Stop motion Lovecraft? Mad God is fairly close.

I get it, you love Guimerro Del Toro, but what are your thoughts on Guillermo Del Toro?🤣 (great vid btw)

Great video!!!!! very interesting.. 😃

anyone else now what a sleep over at Del Toro's house?

It will happened, the same time than "Blood Merian" will be finally made.

To be honest: 1. I think it's possible to adapt it for WAY less. You don't need that much money for strange landscapes, you can just hire the right people, matte paintings are a thing. Same with monsters, you don't need to do everything in CGI and Del Toro should know this. It's just crazy how overblown budget has become and I feel the movie would be BETTER with a lower budget, because it would force the director not to go the Disney route in just pumping money into a VFX department with way too many people who don't deliver. 2. H.P. Lovecrafts racism is a non issue. Most of his works don't feature it at all. They do feature the fear of the foreign and unknown but that's not a bad thing and hell, the silver key story turns everything on it's head. There is probably just one single really racist story and that's not Mountain of Madness. 3. I love Del Toro but I his color grading is god awful. He needs someone who just tells him "no" (but that's true for close to everyone right now in movies and television, a lot of them are shit at light and color). 4. I never understood how Del Toro thought Prometheus was basically Mountains of Madness. It wasn't and it was a bad movie too.

I really wanted to love ‘The Shape Of Water’ for all its romanticism and mystique but found myself shuffling uncomfortably in my seat throughout. When my wife asked what was wrong, I opined that the whole ‘Deep Ones’ lore cut a bit too deep for me to fully appreciate what was a beautiful and affecting film. In a way, the majority of people who have loved this film have - if anything - only a fleeting insight into Lovecraft. G.D.T.’s love for H.P.L. makes the lore hard to shake. I often wonder if I had no knowledge of this lore, how I would have reacted to what is already a superb film?

No, the movie you talk about is the fountain no cronos

AI will provide the best Lovecraft movies ever made, with almost no budget at all.

I've always found Lovecraft hugely enjoyable. Nick Mamatas said that lots of people enjoy Lovecraft because we identify with the monsters. So there's definitely that "point and laugh as the rich straight cis white man finally realizes the Universe does not, in fact, revolve around him."

Stop motion Lovecraft by del Toro sounds like a dream.

It's GEE-AIR-MO, ya Fuck! Yeah, Idk how that happened either. I say it at least once in the video right to show I usually know how to pronounce it. I guess when recording run off sentences my tongue really wants him to sound like Guh-Merro like he's some street fighter character.

If he wants to make a Lovecraft movie he had better hurry up, Jeffery Combs is 70 and probably wont be up for movie making much longer. I guess Nic Cage can do it. Colour out of Space was ... good?

It's pronounced gee-YAIR-mo.

If it comes out before Мудреныч makes second part of tobacco video, I'll get disappointed, but not surprised

monster live adaptation oh damn del torro. the mini series and now monster live adaptation, now im a fan.

I recommend the 2007 Cthulhu.

I could tell you were a big fan of "Gimero" Del Toro with how you skipped Blade 2 and HellBoy. 🙂

John Carpenter's The Thing is fairly close to being a Mountains of Madness adaptation, along with "Who Goes There?" The Lovecraft stories that have never been filmed yet but deserve them the most are The Shadow out of Time or Through the Gates of the Silver Key.

Why should we as the audience or they as the studio be concerned with "racism"? "Racism" is an idealization of in-group tribal preference and out-group prejudical distrust that we evolved over the course of hundreds of thousands of years; it's an instinct and every bit a part of us as the need to copulate and the salivation at the scent of cooking meat. It's been the default setting for group interactions since the beginning and has only been suppressed for the last century or so to the detriment of everyone. Stay true to Lovecraft, keep the racism IN!

Lovecraft, pg13? lol. These studio managers are shitbags.

Good video! Glad this was recommended to me but for the sake of all that is holy in this world, please at least say the name of the man you profess to be a fan of correctly.

that insane game is never gonna come out :/

Those tests look very ordinary as in "seen stuff like this too many times/boring". David Lynch might make aa Lovecraftian film with a truly creepy nightmarish feel. Del Torro is far too MOR, visually.

Lovecraft was not racist, he was xenophobic. Big difference.
