The movie Prometheus II has apparently been given the green-light for script development. That’s the film which pinched a lot of Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness. The rumour is that…
“Sources close to the sequel [said the] studio and Scott [are] taking pitches from basically anyone who can crack the story”
Well, guys here’s my 1,500 word pitch for the sequel’s backstory and full plot (PDF link). It’s a revised and polished version of the plot I posted here back in Sept 2012. It’s yours for $75,000 🙂

New Kickstarter campaign for an original new marionette (puppet) play, The Doom That Came to Fiddle Creek. 12 days to go, and they are close ($8,500) to their $10,000 goal. The work combines old Appalachian folk tales with H.P. Lovecraft.

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…
