Guillermo Del Toro Hasn’t Given Up On ‘Insane’, Is Currently Seeking New Developer
Someone once described Guillermo Del Toro, director of Pan’s Labyrinth and the Hellboy films, as being more renowned for what he hasn’t made than for what he has. The visionary director has made some incredible films, but since Hellboy II: The Golden Army released back in 2008, his adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft novella At the Mountains of Madness was shuttered and not long after that THQ pulled out of developing the action horror (and also heavily Lovecraftian) Insane trilogy. It was difficult enough knowing it may be a while before I get to feast my eyes on Mountains of Madness, but when I head about Insane getting the axe, that one really hurt. Thankfully, he hasn’t given up on the project, as he’s currently seeking out a new developer to bring it to life.
Del Toro retains the rights to the IP, and while speaking with Kotaku at Comic-Con in New York, he discussed the project, saying “When something doesn’t happen one way I just continue pursuing it another if I own the property and control it.” He’s currently working with potential developers to see if any are interested, but he said his dream choice is Valve. Look, I love Valve games, and I know if they were behind it that’d practically guarantee a high quality game — the only problem is I’d really rather not wait ten years to play it. Which studio would you most like to see pick this up? Irrational (BioShock)? Monolith (F.E.A.R.)? Visceral (Dead Space)?

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
