Ron Howard is mulling a Lovecraft movie (!)…

Actually, an adaption of a Lovecraft-themed graphic novel, which at a very quick glance appears to be in the “[author] has adventures which correspond to those he famously wrote about” genre.  Howard has never, to my memory, tried a horror-themed movie before.

Presumably the director will add the revelation that Richard Nixon was a mutant fish-man sired by Cthulu.

  • ‘Splash’ was kind of a Lovecraft story. Tom Hanks meets a half human/half fish girl and she takes him to Y’ha-nthlei to dwell amidst wonder and glory forever. Still, Opie Cunningham doing a movie about H.P.L.? I hope he knows there are a lot of fanboys gearing up to ridicule him.

  • Chad R.

    I predict a juicy role for Clint in this.

  • I hope you’re not trying to imply that President Nixon was anything other than a hideous fish-man, spawned from great Cthulhu. And you better stop mispelling Cthulhu’s name, or Bad Stuff might happen to you, Ken.

  • Please. Like Cthulhu would have had his spawn wasting their time breaking into the offices of political opponents.

    He’d have had them *eating* their political opponents.

    Old Man Marsh clearly demonstrated this fact.
