Do you guys remember the last time we got an update on Ron Howard’s adaptation of THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF H.P. LOVECRAFT? Don’t feel bad, I don’t think anybody else does either. That shite came way back in September 2009! So what
s the deal yo?!
Unfortunately today’s update doesn’t offer much in terms of production on the film and when things will be kicking off but it is a step in the right direction! Word has it that talented scribe John August has officially signed on to pen THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF H.P. LOVECRAFT. Considering August’s credits are mainly genre flicks I’d say this is a pretty good fit, wouldn’t you?
The comic borrows elements from Lovecraft’s life, such as his family’s struggle with mental illness and his own bouts with writer’s block, and transforms the young writer’s darkest nightmares into reality when he comes across a book that puts a curse on him and lets the evils he conjures up loose on the world.
As of right now Ron Howard is still slated to direct this thing though that is of course subject to change, especially now that Howard is busy with THE DARK TOWER. Either way he’ll still be producing this bad boy so he won’t stray to far from it. As always we’ll keep our eyes and ears open for more on THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF H.P. LOVECRAFT. Be sure to check back soon for updates!
