I'm not following you but Id be interested to see an outline.

It would be shit. Hollywood would just turn it into meme horror with CGI tentacles.

Plus Lovecraft aint even that great anyway. It has a pretty nice atmosphere but that's pretty much it, all his stories are
>DUDE CAN'T FATHOM THE MADNESS
>WTF I'M INSANE NOW
>IT WAS SO BAD I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE IT IN WORDS
>EXCEPT NOW, I SHALL DESCRIBE IT WITH WORDS
>AND THEN IT WAS AN INVISIBLE OCTOPUS FROM SPACE PLAYING NIGGER TRIBAL MUSIC WITH A FLUTE IN EACH TENTACLE, BOO!

whoa dude. I don't know why people prefer this type of shit over stuff like The Music of Eric Zann, which is one of his best short stories but meme hated for some reason.

There's so much content in lovecrafts writings I'm wondering where all the big budged lovecraft movies are. I'm waiting for a movie to instill this cosmic dread in its audience.

Are you not interested in writing an outline? Anyone you think should direct?

Are you just too cool for cgi or something?

there’s nobody alive that could do it justice except maybe lynch

Is his film career not over?

if he had a good script e could probably do it
Just so long as it doesn’t have any spoopy monsters in it and focuses on te human elements of his stories, likes cultists

Is he even reading scripts? I assume we could find out. People often just flat out stop reading them. We would really need to find that out first.

>Just so long as it doesn’t have any spoopy monsters in it

Literally why? Lynch loves grotesque creatures.

its too espteric and visually complex, also serious to be made into the film medium. some director who was 100% dedicated to studying esoteric psychosis would have to get a huge budget and a bunch of throwaway but talented actors and then hope to god it became a cult classic like BR2049 will be when it hits blu-ray. this shit didn’t sell well when he was alive, most people don’t know who lovecraft is.

In the mouth of madness.

Cloverfield but with Cthulu.
J.J Abrams to direct

Jesus Christ, can we not have a single Lovecraft thread without pretentious fags showing up?

because lovecraft is about spending 3/4 of the time with human drama, spooky implications, muh madness, and occult themes, it's only in the last quarter that he rips open the veil of reality and DUDE ABOMINATIONS start flying through the winds of time to rape your anus. most of his stories are like that anyway, edgar allen poe-ish but he actually shows CGI tier shit in the end.

if hollywood is going to do lovecraft, they should stick to what they know and do a Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath movie. it's basically like Narnia except with early 20th century junkie occultist losers and human sacrifice and middle easterners actually being aliens with horns under their turbans.

del taco is working on a romance lovecraftian horror.

hope he dont dissapoint.

I got into Lovecraft back in February and then in spring, people started shitposting his name on Sup Forums.

I actually enjoy his works. I fucking hate this website though.

>Lovecraft
>human drama

PFFTT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Are you me?
Although I've been reading Lovecraft for years, but I agree completely. I honestly don't know why I keep coming here, these people are mostly autistic NEET faggot losers who just shit on everything "popular" because it makes them feel cool.

Please delete this retarded fucking post. We've really got enough problems without your bullshit.

Why in the fuck did you just reply to everyone? What in the literal fuck is wrong with you people? Fuck a lovecraft movie, make a movie about that. What is wrong with you?

Easy there, Mr self-importance.

I need to block this site... actually.. it is blocked but I keep going incognito..

I replied to everyone because I want a response. It's not rocket science, or are you one of those faggots that spergs when I do this?

lovecraft was a pretty big meme in the US in the early 2000s, he had a revival as le nerd culture was hitting mainstream and plenty of US normies know who he is. people at least know about cthulu. that's when I first read it. it aint that obscure faggot.

and no, he wasn't le suffering artist when he was alive, he was reasonably well known in his field but nobody took this pulp shit seriously because there was no nerd culture. he had a middle class upbringing as a kid, later married his jew cousin and lived as a NEET, and then died from ass cancer

Get help. You really need help.

I'm not even egotistical. I just want to tell everyone in the thread what I think because not everyone will return to this thread ever again.

I hate attention. I just want to share my disdain for this website.

>it CANNOT BE TRANSLATED INTO FILM!!
*shows you at the mouth of madness*

The levels of teenage autism in this thread are off the chart.

You're mentally ill and you need help.

It's not that anyone here thinks highly of it.

real poster here. i would love to see my favorite Lovecraft story, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward made into a movie. it is easily adaptable and would make a great slow-burn horror with several scenes of glorious monsters and scary shit. done properly it would be an excellent and eldritch film of completely imaginable horror. it would need a director who loves to revel in atmosphere and has a lot of patience so my first thought is someone like Robert Eggers (The Witch).

How to write a Lovecraft story:
>check out these bas reliefs, sculptures, folk tales, artifacts portraying weird alien monsters
>HOLY SHIT THEY ARE REAL AFTER ALL WHAT A TWIST

Is that the one where the doctor is studying the guy who is sick and dying and the guy is being possessed by an otherworldly entity during his dreams or whatever? I listened to that on audiobook a while ago and it's probably my favorite Lovecraft story yet.

no, that's literally my second-favorite story. the The Whisperer in Darkness

There's this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Haunted_Palace

I haven't seen it, so I don't know how faithful it is to the story.

>i listened on audiobook
pleb faggot

Most fiction writers can be boiled down to
>dude love lmao
Among these hacks Lovecraft is a diamond.

That's Beyond the Wall of Sleep, plens.
Really underrated story, by the way.

watch in the mouth of madness

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Haunted_Palace
it's such an unremarkable film that i didn't know it was an adaptation until just now. i was imagining a movie that is mostly an atmospheric period piece that has one or two scenes of well-done monster animation

>not listening to lovecraft while walking alone in the woods at night
Yeah, I'M the pleb

>Beyond the Wall of Sleep
Yep, that's the one. It's been over a year since I listened to it so I couldn't remember. I'll have to check it out again.

>listening to a book
>not having a rich imagination
hahahahahaha you fucking brainlet millenial subhuman, you probably have aphantasia and weak dreams and can’t into visual art hahahahahahahaha don’t breed

>millenial subhuman

i wouldnt expect any new movies from a major studio nor want one as theyd turn it into a superhero/antihero movie. also doesnt help that the mountains of madness movie was squished.

It's one of my favorite stories by Lovecraft. I particularly like this passage:

>"You have been my friend in the cosmos; you have been my only friend on this planet—the only soul to sense and seek for me within the repellent form which lies on this couch. We shall meet again—perhaps in the shining mists of Orion’s Sword, perhaps on a bleak plateau in prehistoric Asia. Perhaps in unremembered dreams tonight; perhaps in some other form an aeon hence, when the solar system shall have been swept away.”

Really underrated.

>talking like a teenager
>calling others millenials
First, I'm 31.
Second, you're a fag.

Same, it honestly gave me chills.

Why isn't there a movie based on Lovecraft's famous poem, "On the Creation of Niggers"?
