But I think there permutations in which you can tell the myth in a different way.”It is not known how the director will work the project into his film schedule – which already has him putting the finishing touched on the sequel to Hellboy. He is also committed to adaptations of HP Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness," Edgar Rice Burrough's "Tarzan," and Roald Dahl's "The Witches." His name is also attached to film adaptations of the graphic novel "The Coffin" and the British mini-series "The Champions."
