Ron Howard and H P Lovecraft?

It's been the news of the week, and my colleagues at the HPL Group were quick to call it to my attention. Indeed, the graphic novel (see previous blog entries) "The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft" is headed for the movie screen, Variety reports.

Entertainment Weekly Online reports: Universal Studios has bought the film rights to the Image Comics graphic novel. Imagine Entertainment will produce. Imagine partner Ron Howard may direct. In the book, created by Mac Carter and Jeff Blitz, a young Lovecraft is the victim of a curse, by which the horrifying stories and characters he creates are unleashed on the world. The book hits stands April 8.

There you have it. The strangest things of this world may be facts which make the imagination of fantasy pale in comparison.

Stay tuned how this turns out.
