@flagascaro I find your claim Ironic considering an American wrote those stories. Seriously what is racist about Lovecraft's writings?
I've read through most of his collection and he hardly ever hints at any social aspects other than Shadow over Innsmouth

@Nature9355 It is, Universal dropped it after Scott Pilgrim bombed at the box office. Feels bad, man.

@flagascaro How's about you be a little more specific. What, in this novel is racist, and what would prevent such racism being left out? What in this story would require NC-17 or X rating? Finally, your gratuitous anti-American insult says more about you than about Lovecraft or his story or anything else.

To be true to HPL, this film would assume: 1) A high degree of audience intellect; 2) period-specific to 1920's; 3) tolerance of racism and ethnocentrism; and, 4) NC-17 (or higher, i.e., X) rating. This film needs to be made in France; Americans are simply too stupid of an audience for such a project.

@kutuluu I totally agree. His style and vision will be perfect for something like this.
holy shit he started reading lovecraft at 11? thats a pretty morbid little kid. im a fan of guiellermo del toro and i started reading lovecrafts work when i heard he was adapting At the mountains of madness. im really excited for the movie cause i think guiellermo is the perfect guy to direct it!

Del Toro has to be the best choice for a big budget Lovecraft film, his visual style is just perfect for it. Damn I haven't been this excited to see a movie since Terminator 2 as a kid.
