The filmmaker stated: "Take a wild guess which were the first projects I presented, you know? I went through the cupboard and found ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo|Monte Cristo]]'' and ''Mountains of Madness''. Those were a couple of the ones I presented first." Del Toro further iterated that he intended to rewrite the script and make it a smaller, weirder and more esoteric version in respect to the scenes that he had left out before.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sharf|first=Zach|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2021/12/guillermo-del-toro-pitches-at-the-mountain-of-madness-netflix-1234682793/|title=Guillermo del Toro Eager to Resurrect 'Mountains of Madness' at Netflix:

Tolkien]]'s fantasy novel ''[[The Hobbit]]''.<ref>{{cite news|last=Netburn|first=Deborah|title=Guillermo del Toro to direct 'The Hobbit' and sequel|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-hobbitt25apr25-story.html|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=October 8, 2023|date=April 24, 2008}}</ref> Del Toro envisioned the first film as a direct adaptation of the novel, with the second bridging the gap between ''The Hobbit'' and the ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|Lord of the Rings]]'' films. After spending two years in [[New Zealand]] working on pre-production, del Toro left the project due to ongoing delays and was replaced by [[Peter Jackson]]. The films were expanded to a trilogy during production, with del Toro still credited as co-writer of all three.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=695&catid=2|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080730161821/http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=695&catid=2|archive-date=30 July 2008|title=
