How James Wan's Call of Cthulhu could still work.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While James Wan is mostly known as a multiplex legend, the horror director could benefit from downsizing his ambitions when it comes to his H.P. Lovecraft adaptation The Call of Cthulhu. While H.P. Lovecraft’s racism makes him a divisive figure in literary circles, his influence on the horror genre remains inescapable.
Why James Wan’s Call of Cthulhu Movie Is In Development Hell Lovecraft Adaptations Are Notoriously Tricky Close Director James Wan is one of the most financially successful horror directors in Hollywood history thanks to the Saw, Insidious, and Conjuring franchises and their spinoffs. Despite this, Wan admitted to Empire that his Call of Cthulhu movie might never happen thanks to its “very esoteric” story.
Although the director never got to make his ambitious $150 million At The Mountains of Madness adaptation, Del Toro's Netflix show Cabinet of Curiosities did prove that Lovecraft adaptations might be better suited to television than film. Both the underrated Lovecraft Country and a standout episode of Love, Death, and Robots that featured Cthulhu underlined this idea.
