Black Bag Pictures has a Kickstarter for the film Miskatonic University. Authentic New England settings, period costumes, and apparently Lovecraftian.
It’s a colour costume drama, but it could be cool to do a faux documentary in noir-ish b&w. Use really old actors, as if interviewing the ancient faculty of the University. Do a sort of straight Ken Burns-style documentary on discovering why the University was disbanded for mysterious reasons in the 1950s, etc…

French SF magazine Bifrost is planning a special Lovecraft issue…
“a date has not yet been not yet fixed and the content is not yet fully defined, but the fact is that we are concocting a special Lovecraft issue of Bifrost. […] would like to give a complete explanation of the French HPL and his work, its evolution and everything.”
If you can write in good native French, they might be interested in an article or interview proposal.

Bleeding Cool Magazine #2 (out now) has “Modernizing Lovecraft, an In-Depth Interview With Alan Moore, Part 2”, concluding the interview that began in the first issue (dated Oct, on the shelves mid Nov 2012). The two articles are not online, and Bleeding Cool doesn’t seem to offer mail-order print copies or digital CBR copies. It seems you have to pitch up at a friendly local comics retail shop and gingerly ease your way through the adolescent hordes, in the hope that a copy is still on the shelves. /Sigh/ Yup, looks like my nearest stockist is 50 miles away. To eBay, then…

Booktryst interviews John K. Martin (Black Sparrow Press) about his Lovecraft Weird Tales collection…
“82 years old, John has put his superlative collection of H.P. Lovecraft in Weird Tales, the famed pulp magazine, up for sale. A remarkable collection of eighty gorgeous issues amassed over decades, each – incredibly – is in fine to very fine condition with yapp edges intact; these old pulps are usually encountered in rubbed, sunned, toned, and torn shape.”

del Toro is to have another go at getting a major studio to put up the money for the filming of At the Mountains of Madness…
“I’m going to try it one more time. Once more into the dark abyss,” he laughed. “We’re gonna do a big presentation of the project again at the start of the year and see if any [studio’s] interested.” And yes, Tom Cruise is still game to be on board if they can find a home for it. “Yeah, Tom is still attached. I think it would be so fantastic to make it with him. He’s been such a great ally of the project.”
