From Variety.com:

Universal and Imagine Entertainment are gearing up for “The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft.” The studio has bought the film rights to Image Comics’ graphic novel, with the project a potential directing vehicle for Ron Howard. The book bows April 8.

U sparked to “Lovecraft” because its take on classic horror fits in well with the studio’s library of monster fare featuring Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy and the Wolf Man, the last of which is being brought back to the bigscreen later this year.

Created by Mac Carter and Jeff Blitz, book borrows elements from Lovecraft’s life, such as his family’s struggle with mental illness and his own bouts with writer’s block, and transforms the young writer’s 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.”

WOW. We are very humbled and excited about the news and can’t wait to share this book with you. It’s been a long, hard slog, nine years and counting to get this project to where it is today. We experienced some very dark days that even Lovecraft himself may have tipped his hat at. We only hope to honor Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s legacy, authorship and rabid fans by telling a good yarn.

More news as it develops.

May he eat you first!
