Lovecraft and Hollywood..

I am not sure how I feel about this news: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2009/09/ron-howard-on-his-first-comicbook-film-this-is-new-territory-for-me-.html.  I am not a Ron Howard fan (although I did like Frost/Nixon: watching it made me feel "intellectual"- until it was over and I watched a rerun of "Gossip Girl.")  I love the idea of Lovecraft as an "action hero."  I just hope it doesn't turn out to be some kind of "Young Indiana Jones" shit.

Here is another article from the LA Times about Hollywood's new obsession with Lovecraft: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2009/06/hp-lovecraft-and-hollywood-an-unholy-alliance-.html
