No it isn't.

Go read his screenplay. Its fucking awful.
The only "good" thing is that the same art teambfrom pan's labyrinth/ hellboy would have worked on it

It's called Prometheus

hopefully never ever
lovecraft doesnt work on firlm

Why not? There's plenty of art featuring Lovecraft stuff. If a painting can do Lovecraft justice, then so can a film.

i thought the point of lovecraft was unimaginable and incomprehensible horror

as soon as you put it into a movie aren't you defeating that?

That pic looks like shit.

>>81957946
only faggots claim that.
in fact lovecraft described many of his monsters in great detail, cthulhu being one of them.

>Wanting "Lovecrafting" movies/video games

Can you name a more pleb opinion? It only works in literature by it's very nature.

Problem is that you need to build up mood and atmosphere to do Lovecraft properly and that wont fly with studio's and todays ADHD audiences. Can you imagine a modern day audience sitting through ALIEN which was heavily influenced by Lovecraft because of Dan O'Bannon!!!FACT!!!

>>81957906
because of this
>>81957946
the only way lovecraft can work in a visual medium is if only certain themes or subtle undertones are included. i cant imagine them doing shoggoth justice.

yeah and he would look fucking laughable on screen. also he got blown the fuck out by a steamboat. eldrich horror my ass.

a "lovecraftian" production should focus on themes of strange occult, madness, subtle hits pf cosmic entities and their influence, barely noticeable out of place elements. as soon as its tentacles-in-your-face it becomes silly

>>81957846
i can think of several Call of Cthulhu modules that would work as films

the arrival was very lovecraft inspired.
that alien race presented in the movie was basically a 1:1 ripoff of the aliens from shadow out of time.

This is the biggest reason why we are further away from a proper Lovecraft adaption than ever before.
Not because it would be impossible to put on screen.
At least for big cinema releases.

Del Toro refuses to do it unless the studios fuck off with their meddling. They wanted him to make it PG-13 and have a romance subplot and possibly a happy ending.
I'd rather the movie not get made rather than some ruined Lovecraft adaptation like that.

>>81958329
are big studios literally the devil?
on the other hand, you wouldnt need a 100mill+ budget for such a movie, a few million would suffice.
and del taco should have enough street cred to get such a sum.

>>81958329
I thought it was cancelled after Prometheus was made because they were worried about the two movies being too similar
