Del Toro Announces Yet Another Freakin' Project

Artsy indie- horror/action- blockbuster director Guillermo Del Toro, who according to IIMDB may or may not be helming The Hobbit, The Hobbit 2, Doctor Strange, At the Mountains of Madness, and an original project entitled 3993, has announced one more picture he might direct if he gets the time (i.e., if the Hobbit pictures go to another director, and the money for the Lovecraft picture doesn't come through):

But I'm starting to sketch one more, perhaps final, little movie about childhood and horror. It's called Saturn and the End of Days. It's about a kid named Saturn watching the Rapture and the Apocalypse while on the way back and forth from the grocery store. It's like, what would happen if the Apocalypse was viewed by you [while] doing errands. You go back and forth and nothing big happens except the entire world is being sucked into a vortex of fire.

Sounds pretty awesome. Actually, reminds me a little of the premise of The Mist, whose combination of horror and wonder Del Toro admired so much. I'm gonna cross my fingers that At the Mountains of Madness gets backers (is there some fund we can contribute to, to make this movie happen? Guillermo, I'ma PayPal you $5, k?), and I'd love to see The Hobbit, but lord knows this religiously tinged domestic horror is just what our favorite Mexican auteur does better than just about anybody. Go Guillermo!
