R-rating, period piece, big-budget Lovecraft film... oh, and while we're at it, throw in James Cameron. Oh, and have him film it in 3D.

...I remember when I saw ‘Alien’ and I was absolutely blown away by it. I saw John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing,’ I saw Kubrick’s ‘The Shining.’ These were massive movies in a genre that normally doesn’t get massive movies. (With) ‘Mountains of Madness,’ there are two things that I’ve been battling all these years: period and R-rated, and a very very tough ending, so the studio is very scared of period obviously, he’s very scared of the budget and an R-rating, and the first conversation I always have is, ‘Does it have to be R?’ and I go, ‘Yes.’ ‘Does it have to be period? Does it have to be Antarctica?’ ‘Yes.’...This is off the hook.

The problem with this movie is that it has been gestating for a few years now, like most of the movies in his list. Maybe James Cameron can do something good (which would be a change for the past decade) and get this movie finally off the ground with him as a producer.
