Tom Cruise Still Interested in 'At the Mountains of Madness'?

Bloody-Disgusting writes: I deserve to eat, right? The day of news continues as MTV scored an exclusive interview with genius director/producer James Cameron to walk about that bland looking thriller Sanctum. Keeping this story brief, contrary to recent reports (throwing around names like James McAvoy), Cameron explains that Tom Cruise is still interesting in starring in At the Mountains of Madness.

"Tom does want to do the picture," Cameron said of Cruise's continued interest. "I don't think we have a deal with him yet, but we're hoping to get that closed soon. Guillermo is madly working on a new draft of the script," he added. "Hopefully we'll be shooting by June or July."

Universal Pictures is producing and Guillermo del Toro is directing this monster H.P. Lovecraft adaptation that tells the story of 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.
