HP Lovecraft

Please forgive my ignorance; is Guillermo del Toro going to direct At the Mountains of Madness or not? I haven't been keeping up too much with Hollywood news lately.

Yes he is. Quote from his latest interview with Empire:

I think either way it’s going to happen someday.

What Kind of Lovecraftian Terror Are You?

it was actually pretty acurate:

You are Nyarlathotep!The Crawling Chaos, you serve your masters the Outer Gods with an open disdain for their mindless ways. You yourself are smart, twisted, and, unlike most Gods of the Mythos, have a recognizable personality; you are funny, mocking, and thouroughly evil.

This thread gets an A.

I haven't seen Re-Animator(I know, I know), but nearly every other adaptation of Lovecraft's that I've seen has sucked. Dagon was absolutely terrible- while certain story beats in the thing made me giddy with excitement just because I so love the source material, the acting, directing, and script were pure trash. The effects were also laughably bad, but that'd be forgivable in a low budget film if the other aspects were decent.

I did really dig the black and white silent Cthulhu movie, though.

Del Toro making Mountains of Madness needs to happen, pronto. He needs to fast track that and his dinosaur, monster filled Tarzan movie and ditch all this other crap.

I recently saw the movie The Resurrected which is based on Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. I was surprised how good it was. It's probably the most faithful adaption of Lovecraft that I've seen.

By the way.....WHAT THE HELL IS THIS AND WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT IT?????

It's made by the same guys who did Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!!!

If anyone here doesn't have the game, GET IT!!!

Its based on Shadow Over Innsmouth, as many Lovecraft and Lovecraft-inspired adaptions are. A fun game in my books that would be great translated to the big screen. The opening cinematic is simply fantastic and pretty creepy.

I thought Cthulu was going to be the cloverfield monster at first

 

[Victarion]

I believe so--X-Box and PC only.

If we got a great Lovecraft adaption outside of ATMOM, would you want it as a period piece or set in modern times?

Cthulhu approves this thread!

So I heard the earth women are crazy bout Cthulhu...

I would want it as a period piece. Although I enjoy Gordon's films unlike a lot of Lovecraft fans, I think having the stories set in the times Lovecraft wrote them in adds to the creepiness factor.

Yeah, the game is only for X-box and PC. I've got it for X-box and beat it multiple times getting the rank of Mythos expert.

Be warned though. This game can be very frustrating since it has a lot of trial and error throughout the entire thing. You will die a lot just trying to figure out how to move ahead. That and there are a few bugs here and there that can get annoying.

Being a big Lovecraft fan though, that didn't keep me from enjoying the game.

Spoiler

I especially love it when you get to fight off Dagon on the boat
