Why did I not hear about this earlier?
Director Guillermo Del Toro has written a screenplay based on Lovecraft's story [At the Mountains of Madness], but in 2006 has had trouble getting Warner Brothers to finance the project. Wrote Del Toro, "The studio is very nervous about the cost and it not having a love story or a happy ending, but it's impossible to do either in the Lovecraft universe."
Sir, did you just encapsulate in a single snarky and succinct phrase part of the reason I might be drawn to Lovecraft's work? I think you did..
Not strictly true. One of my favorite stories, 'The Outsider,' does not at any rate have what I'd call an 'unhappy' ending...
