Over the last few days I’ve posted different parts of my extended video interview with Guillermo del Toro that I recorded at the Toronto International Film Festival. Del Toro was in Toronto to promote Julia’s Eyes – which he produced. While he already talked about his soon to be announced DreamWorks Animation deal, TV projects, and his movie Julia’s Eyes, it’s time for the rest of the interview and it covers At the Mountains of Madness, Disney’s Haunted Mansion, and something not yet announced: he’s making video games!! Here’s the bullet points:

del Toro told me he has a video game deal that’s not yet announced. He revealed it’s for 3 games to be made over 10 years with the goal of a new game every 3 years!

Haunted Mansion: he said it will be PG-13 and it will be a “dark ride”. Says they turned in the storyline last week to Disney along with the first few key concept drawings. Matthew Robbins is writing and he’ll start in about a month. Hopes to know if Disney will move forward on it in January. At that time he’ll figure out if he will direct it or if it will be someone else.

At the Mountains of Madness: del Toro gave me a scoop when he revealed Dennis Muren is designing the monsters! Muren told him “you’ve never seen monsters like this.” If you don’t who Dennis Muren is…look over his resume and you’ll know when it’s so cool that he’s involved. He went on to say the film isn’t greenlit yet, he’ll be talking to some Lovecraft scholars to get their input on the script, hopes to make the movie without interference, explained how he got James Cameron involved, and says the film suffers from two big issues: it’s a hard core R rated movie and it’s a horror tentpole with a big budget.

So much more after the jump:

Rather than have me go on and on about what del Toro said, I suggest watching the interview for yourself. After all, this is del Toro. I’ve time indexed the interview so you can watch the parts that interest you. Trust me, way more is in the interview than what I bullet pointed on the front page.
