December
20: Hans Rodionoff's Mnemovore update!
After some digging,
I've learned that the Mnemovore footage
Hans Rodionoff screened (at the HPLFF) was
in fact test footage shot at the request
of Guillermo del Toro. The footage featured
Kristen Bell in the lead (as Kaley), and
genre favorite Michael Biehn as her therapist.
Hans did not mention whether Bell or Biehn
would actually appear in the film once it
goes into production...
Don
Murphy and Susan Montford (Transformers)
will join Guillermo del Toro as producers,
with Rodionoff writing and directing...
More
as it becomes available!

December 16: Hans Rodionoff adapting Mnemovore
Since
I missed the 2007 HPLFF, I'm a little late
on this one...
Writer/director
Hans Rodionoff announced (at this years
H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival) that Guillermo
Del Toro is producing his adaption of the
DC/Vertigo comic Mnemovore, which
he co-wrote with Ray Fawkes. Rodionoff,
who wrote the screenplay and is directing,
also revealed 10 minutes of the films footage
at the festival.
The
comics plot revolves around Kaley, an amnesiac
former professional snow boarder who makes
a terrifying discovery when her snowboarding
accident sets her up in the unique position
to battle a centuries-old Lovecraftian entity
that feeds on the memories of mankind. She
must then fight to protect the loved ones
she no longer remembers...
In
an interview with comicbookresources.com,
Hans, who also wrote the Lovecraft
graphic novel for Vertigo, described the
2005 comic as a paranoid Lovecraftian thriller
told through the eyes of an unreliable narrator...
More as I hear it!

December 13: New Dark Paradox one-sheet!
Check out the new
poster art for Brian
(The Dead Inside) Clemente's
Dark Paradox!
About the film: Dark Paradox follows
a writer's unwitting discovery of the history
and secret efforts of a cult in Victoria,
Canada that has been engaged in a 60 year
effort to open a portal between our world
and another, letting in a host of vicious
interdimensional beings. The city of Victoria
was rumoured in the 1980's to be the second
worldwide "capital of Satanism"
after Geneva, Switzerland. Dark Paradox
explores the idea that this myth was not
only partially true but also partially inaccurate
in suggesting the cult activity was "Satanic"
when in fact it was based on the worship
of ancient extraterrestrial "elder
gods" in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft's
fiction...

December
10: Full Arcanum synopsis!
 |
Here's
the full synopsis for Randall Wallace's
adaptation of Thomas Wheeler's The
Arcanum courtesy of bloody-disgusting.com!
It
is 1919 and the Great War has come
to a close. But in the shadows of
the world’s major cities, the
killing has just begun. In this perilous
time, as the division between order
and chaos grows increasingly slim,
a select group of visionaries have
taken it upon themselves to ensure
the safety of humanity. They are known
as the Arcanum. In London’s stormy
Hyde Park, Konstantin Duvall, the
Arcanum’s founder, has been killed
in a
|
| suspicious
accident. Dismayed, the group’s
longest-lived member, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, determines to avenge Duvall’s
death—and uncover the secret left
in his wake. |
For
the dead man possessed the world’s
most powerful—now missing—artifact:
the Book of Enoch, the chronicle of God’s
mistakes, within whose pages lie the seeds
for the end of everything. From the scene
of the crime, Conan Doyle embarks on a path
that leads him to the sleazy underworld
of New York City’s Bowery and a series
of deceptively disparate—but decidedly
connected—murders. And as he calls
upon the scattered members of the Arcanum
for aid, he also finds himself embroiled
in a story of war as old as time itself.
Not of a struggle between countries, but
between darkness and light. Peopled with
the twentieth century’s most famous—and
infamous—figures, here is an extraordinary
tale in which the stakes go beyond the realm
of humankind—into the divine.

December 1: Lovecraftian
Machinima
Unfilmable.com
friend and contributor Bob Brinkman has
created a new reviews page containing a
wide variety of Lovecraft inspired Machinima,
including links to many of the films (the
reviews themselves are forthcoming)! As
Bob wrote in the HPLFF's 2007 edition of
the Daily Lurker, "Machinima is
a fairly new form of filmmaking. Having
it's origins in the 1980's, Machinima didn't
get widespread notice until the Quake-based
machinima film, Diary of a Camper in 1996.
In the years that have followed, Machinima
has grown ever closer to the mainstream
thanks to the creation of programs such
as The Movies."
Bob's
interest in Machinima has even inspired
him to create (in conjunction with the H.P.
Lovecraft Film Festival and Lionshead Studios)
a contest in which the winning film screens
at the HPLFF. The winning entry for 2007
was a film called May Flowers directed
by Joseph Kwong. Mr. Kwong also directed
last years winning film, Quietus...
The
Machinima film list can be found here!
