The maker of the hit videogame Dredge is in the very early stages of a live-action movie adaptation. Basically Dredge is a Lovecraftian ‘small trawler’ fishing game, with its possible-movie officially described my the developers as… “a grounded atmospheric cosmic-horror blend of H.P. Lovecraft and Ernest Hemingway.” Sounds good. The Sonic the Hedgehog producer is apparently on board, so I guess there is actually a chance of co-funding for at least a modest indie movie. Casting suggestions for a fisherman pulled into the net of cosmic horror are now invited.

If you can’t wait for this dose of damp cosmic horror, this week the ‘Fairies of New England’ blog appears to have visited H.P. Lovecraft’s “Dark Swamp” and has pictures.
