St. Gabe 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I've seen you discuss this monster on the board, but I'm not familiar with it. There is a trailer up on yahoo now for a movie called "Cthulhu" I assume it is in regard to the monster, it comes out August 22nd...here's a link....what's this about? http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809870670/video/8824048 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jingus 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Aw c'mon. Just because it's a Lovecraft adaptation, in which they completely changed every single thing about the plot to the point where only one-fourth of the original title remains, and it was directed and written and produced by people who've never made a single movie before, and it co-stars Tori Spelling, that doesn't mean it's automatically gonna suck. No wait, on second thought, it does mean exactly that. The next good Lovecraft movie I see will be the first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Advanced word has been mixed, as it's been playing in the festival circuit for a while. I'll see it if I have a chance, though I don't have high hopes. Then again, Lovecraft isn't exactly the easiest author to adapt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 No, he's not, but he's probably not the hardest. A talented director could easily do it, and even Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzan have done at least ENTERTAINING adaptations of his work (and made their entire careers off of it). Just go rent Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. It's the closest thing to a real Lovecraft movie you'll ever get (including a TON of nods to HP's work, most especially naming the innkeeper Mrs. Pickman, a reference to the Lovecraft story The Pickman's Model).

dubq 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Agreed on In the Mouth of Madness.. but Call of Cthulhu is still the best Lovecraft adaptation that I've ever seen... http://www.cthulhulives.org/cocmovie/trailer.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
