In an interview with Countingdown, "Hellboy" and "Blade 2" director Guillermo Del Toro spoke about the current status of his various projects:

- Budgeting and script revisions are currently underway on "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" with pre-production likely to begin this Summer.

- The Peter Jackson produced adaptation of the popular video game "Halo" is still a possibility. While his involvement is still up in the air, Guillermo expressed great interest in dealing with 'The Flood' cinematically.

- "Killing on Carnival Row" is currently undergoing script revisions. The story is a gothic fantasy romp about a hard-boiled police constable who is tracking a serial killer in a town populated by humans, fairies, vampires, and werewolves.

- No definitive news on "At the Mountains of Madness", though Del Toro is still pursuing it.

- del Toro recently handed in a draft of a new adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic "The Witches" and hopes to direct in addition to writing.
