The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft Movie?

What a week for comics. American Jesus and Firebreather will both be getting films; but it’s not over yet.

The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft created by Mac Carter and Jeff Blitz, is being developed for Ron Howard to direct at Universal. The fictionalized tale borrows elements from Lovecraft’s life, such as his own bouts with writer’s block, and transforms his darkest nightmares into reality when he comes across a book that puts a curse on him and lets the evils he conjures up loose on the world. Universal picked this up because its take on classic horror fits in well with their monster movies like Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy and the Wolf Man.

If you’d like to get into this series, you’re in luck. The first of four issues comes out April 8th. More info here.
