It’s official. SpectreVision has announced the leading actor Nicolas Cage will be starring in a big budget movie adaptation of Lovecraft’s “The Colour out of Space”. The film’s director will be Richard Stanley. He hasn’t directed a feature film since the early 90s (Dust Devil) after becoming entangled in a studio-doomed Island of Doctor Moreau reboot and falling out of features. But he has done documentaries, such as The Secret Glory (Nazi Grail hunting) and The White Darkness (Haitian voodoo) and The Otherworld (modern-day paranormal investigators in Cathar France). Principal photography on Colour is said to be starting next month, and the press-release lists a large phalanx of Producers who’ll keep the production on track. I don’t recognise any of the other actor names, apart from Cage, but it’s obviously going to be a quality production.
