Ron Howard P. Lovecraft

In an interviw with Geoff Boucher from the L.A. Times Ron Howard talked about how excited the was to be working on a big screen adaptation of Image Comic's "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft." The Academy Award-winning director said, "It very cleverly uses H.P. Lovecraft in a fictional way, but there are some loose biographical elements. It certainly has the flavor and the tone of Lovecraft. The character is a very young Lovecraft. Look, it's challenging, but if we get it right, it could be really original and psychologically interesting and scary in a great way. And it's a graphic novel. This is new territory for me… I'm very encouraged by it so far, the approach and the possibilities." Howard’s Imagine Entertainment acquired the rights The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft by Mac Carter in March 2009. While there's no official announcement on what Howard's next project will be, this movie seems to be a strong contender.
