Re: Has anyone seen, or do they know about....

Lovecraft goes metrosexual. I remember seeing stuff on this film as far back as 2003 when it was little more than a teaser and still searching for financing. The clips I saw back then emphasized the sex angle and, therefore, I assumed that they were using that aspect as a diversion for a paucity of imagination and a prohibitively low budget.

Accordingly, I fairly dismissed it from my mind. This more recent trailer is richer in promise, more atmospheric. However, I'm more than a bit annoyed at their appropriation of some imagery from Michael Whelan's brilliant Lovecraftian illustrations:





I'll check it out and get back to you on this one J.D. Who knows, perhaps Andrew Migliore over at lurker Films will pick it up for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival this October!

P.S. Get a load of this hoax 1933 newsreel footage of Lovecraft speaking about his work. The actor they got to do this sounds just like Truman Capote! Ridiculous! YouTube - H. P. Lovecraft 1933 WPA Newsreel Interview
