Who else agrees that we need a cinematic universe based on the legendary works of H.P. Lovecraft? I can imagine an entire set of connecting stories based on his various works such as Herbert West-Reanimator. I still don't understand why no one has attempted to do a proper adaption of his major works.

I would set it in modern times, with Randolph Carter being the central protagonist, as he investigates weird supernatural events linked to the mythical Great Old Ones.

Perhaps they could branch the Cinematic Universe off of Re-Animator.

Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna already have a sorta cinematic universe.

Re-Animator
From Beyond
Dagon (my favorite Lovecraft film)
Necronomicon

They're imo the best adaptations of anything lovecraftian and could never be beaten.

I'm thinking they could adapt more Lovectaft stories for film. Maybe us true horror fans would get what we wanted.

Yeah we still haven't gotten a good enough adaptation of Call of Cthulhu.

Just maybe Gordon could get one rolling.

It will be nothing like the books , it was a risk doing the Dark corners of the earth game.
Doing a movie would be iinsufficient.
Really.
But Stanley Kubrick did a amazing job with the Shining and Clockwork.
So i guess doing a Lovecraft movie would be a challenge .
I think the director that should make one it's Clive Barker.
He would do a excelent job.

Clive is great but I still say Gordon and Yuzna could throw together a incredible cthulhu film.

I'm not talking about Cthulhu but, the whole Lovecraft universe.

ReAnimator is a film your parents wouldn't let you see.

It was probably unrated so it couldn't get into theaters because of how "graphic" it was.

And Clive is great with hellraiser.

But I still think the Lovecraft film universe belongs to Gordon and Yuzna. Their films were/are just so incredible.
