Congratulations, joster285

And the winner of my recent iClone competition is… joster285. Congratulations! The licences for iClone 4 Pro, 3DXchange 4 Pro, and CrazyTalk 6 Pro are on the way to him. It was a very difficult choice, but sadly there was only one prize to give. Here’s his pitch for making a Lovecraft movie using the iClone real-time movie-making software…

“I would adapt ‘From Beyond’. It’s quite an interesting tale about exploration and distorted reality. Of course, I’m familiar with the Stuart Gordon film adaptation, though, but after making several Lovecraft adaptations with The Movies, I feel that iClone would be the best way to tell the story. I would do the movie in the style of a psychological thriller with minimum dialogue. For visuals, when Tillinghast and his assistant enter the alternative dimension, every time the scene switches camera angles, the color scheme will fade into a different color giving it a distorted feel.”

Matt Timson has a fascinating new illustrated interview over at Forbidden Planet. It details how he goes about making a Lovecraft comic-book adaptation, including the use of 3D software (in this case the free Google Sketchup) for exactly posable reference images…

The winning entries for the Call of Cthulhu: Wasted Land game review competition. The task was to write a review of the game in the style of Lovecraft…

I am not mad. That they found my wretched form in the darkest recess of the library long after closing, staring into a pane of blackened glass and maniacally gesturing at imaginary denizens within, proves only that the twisted minds at Red Wasp Design have succeeded in channelling the Great Old Ones, unleashing their eldritch horror into our unsuspecting homes. I imagine the jaundiced, hunched forms toiling at their arcane art, rictus grins broadening at the thought of the psychological terror they have realised in their “Wasted Land”, at the innocent minds corrupted by this absorbing, addictive “pastime”.

Are we getting to the point where a sumptuous coffee-table book could be produced, collecting all the portraits of Lovecraft?

Philip Horne in The Telegraph today muses on Edgar Allan Poe’s stranglehold on popular culture. I suspect we’ve passed the cultural tipping point, and are now heading for a similar long-term endurance for Lovecraft.

L.A. Stage reports that Re-Animator: The Musical is alive – and re-animating!

“Based on the book by H.P. Lovecraft, adapted by Dennis Paoli, Stuart Gordon and William Norris, with music and lyrics by Mark Nutter, helmed by Gordon, the Ovation Award-winning rock tuner – also nominated for 4 LADCC Awards and 8 LA Weekly Awards – is moving to downtown LA’s Hayworth Theatre for a 10-week run, prior to its appearance at NYMF (New York Musical Theatre Festival) and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The original cast, including George Wendt, is intact – occasionally headless, but intact.”
