Guillermo del Toro is living quite the charmed life as of late. His current film, Blade 2, opened at the top of the box office this past weekend with a massive $33.1 Million. He has another high profile project ready to go in Universal's "Hellboy." Now, he's got another potential blockbuster with Dreamworks.

Del Toro is in negotiations with Dreamworks to adapt and direct H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains Of Madness. The horror story follows an expedition to an unchartered region of the Arctic and the ruins of a lost civilization that they find there.
