Cthulhu Mythos News: Entertainment Weekly Talks About Guillermo del Toro's 'At the Mountains of Madness'

Nice to see "mainstream" media cover this.

From insidemovies.ew.com-

"Lovecraft’s enduring influence—one that extends to books, comics, TV shows, rock music, video games, and even Cthulu plush toys—would have come as a huge surprise to the author himself, who garnered precious little acclaim or financial reward during his lifetime. Lovecraft, who was born in 1890, had a dim view of his writing talents and declined to even submit his longest literary effort, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, to the pulp magazines, such as Weird Tales, which were the principal publishers of his work during the author’s lifetime. Lovecraft’s low opinion of his stories was reinforced by Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright who rejected a couple of the author’s stories, including, for reasons of length, At the Mountains of Madness. The tale was finally serialized by another magazine, Astounding Stories, in the spring of 1936. But at the time of Lovecraft’s death from cancer the following year the writer remained almost completely unknown to the public."
