James Wan to Adapt Iconic H.P. Lovecraft Story into Film

James Wan is officially making The Call of Cthulhu.

The movie will be based on the iconic 1928 H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name, which follows a man named Francis Thurston who investigates a demonic cult that seems to be involved in worshiping the Cthulhu.

Deadline recently announced several upcoming movies that are set to be adapted into video games. However, in announcing that James Wan’s The Call of Cthulhu would be adapted into a game, the article effectively announced the movie itself. James Wan, who previously helmed The Conjuring and Insidious, stated that the title was his “dream project” and one he’d been working on for five years.

It’ll be exciting to see what Wan’s film adaptation will be like, as well as the videogame version. What are you hoping to see in these adaptations?
