Is he even still trying?

Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone aren't Bayish in any way, and neither is Crimson Peak from what I've heard.

>Hand creative control of an excellent fantasy mythos
Nobody can hand the creative control of the Cthulhu Mythos to anybody, because it's basically free open source fiction now.

wut isn't this project on ice and del taco still has to make money movies for the studios because all his last ones didn't bust the block?

Just watch Prometheus.

Del Toro makes these horrible abominations fusing Steampunk with Baroque.

He's one of the reasons the Hobbit films were so garrish and grotesque.

He will be terrible for Lovecraft. The man has no sense of understatement.

>>83339151
This. It's sad that many Lovecraft fans, knowing that modern Hollywood will never ever make an actually good, faithful Lovecraft adaptation (no, not because they're Jews, but because Hollywood can't make good big budget films any more), have come to see the idea of the mediocre Del Toro helming an adaptation as some sort of good thing just because he actually likes Lovecraft. That's not good enough! Liking the source material doesn't mean shit if you're not a good artist.

Del Toro is too in love with his mosters to adapt Lovecraft.

It's a shame Prometheus was obviously heavily inspired by Mountains, yet ends up being childish in its thematic development.

>>83339510

Fuck no.

The Thing's prequel was better as a Mountains consolation prize.
