March 26, 2009 - The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft / project announced
Scooped on Saturday, March 28, 2009
Universal has bought the screen rights to Image Comics' The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft, a new comic set to come out on April 8, 2009. Created by Mac Carter and Jeff Blitz, the comic weaves together aspects of the real horror writer's life, such as his struggle with mental illness and his frustrations with writer's block, and adds a fantastic element to it: that the beleagured Lovecraft was cursed by a dark book that gives life his phantasmagorical ideas.
Imagine Entertainment is developing the project for the studio, with top dogs Ron Howard and Brian Grazer producing. Howard may direct the film. The script will be written by Carter and both creators will receive executive producer credits on the final product. [Full story]
