At Warners' premiere for del Toro’s Pacific Rim on Tuesday night, speculation swirled about another proposed del Toro film, At the Mountains of Madness, an expensive Cruise vehicle that Universal pulled the plug on in 2011 after the budget ballooned. Cruise’s presence at the premiere is sure to stoke talk that the movie could now be revived as a Legendary-Universal project  -- though a source said Cruise attended the premiere as a guest of Warners rather than Legendary.

Del Toro, who was unaware that Universal and Legendary were on the verge of closing a deal even as the premiere was about to take place, said: “Thomas is a big fan of the screenplay and the project. So it bodes well for that."

He added: “I’m a great fan of Legendary. I think Legendary has a strong genre instinct. And they are very aware of the zeitgeist of the culture, so I think it’s a great fit with any studio.”

A number of Universal and Legendary insiders, who were on hand, offered a vague response. Said one, while arching eyebrows, “We shall see, we shall see.”

A pricey gamble like At the Mountains of Madness would fly in the face of NBCUniversal’s recent fiscal prudence -- but having a partner in Legendary could now make it feasable.
