The new four-part Image comic book, The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft hasn't come out yet, but has already sold to Universal and Imagine Entertainment for Ron Howard to direct."Created by Mac Carter and Jeff Blitz, the 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.”
Ron Howard wouldn't have been my first choice to finally bring some classic eldritch Lovecraft inspired-horror to our screen, but I'll take what I can get. It's high time. Hopefully the comic itself will do Lovecraft justice, and we'll go from there...

Sounds interesting. Not heard about that. Yeah, not sure about Ron Howard, but it'll be higher profile as a result - although debatable whether that's a good thing or not.
