Aquaman's James Wan looks to be making a movie based on one of H.P. Lovecraft's most iconic horror stories, The Call of Cthulhu – which, in turn, is going to be adapted into a video game.&nb♍sp;
Bear with us... So, on Thursday, December 21, published a report that revealed Sino-American fund Stars-Hana have plans to turn a bunch of "film projects" produced by the likes of Wan, Roy Lee, and Sam Raimi into playable titles. A team-up between Peter Luo's Stars Collective, Chinese firm Hana Investment and Starlight Media, Stars-Hana announced it'd be investing in verticals including film, TV, comics, games, collectibles, con🍷sumer goods, AI and new tech over a three-year period back at an LA event in November.
While promoting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom recently, Wan described The Call of Cthulhu as a "dream project" and admitted that it's something he's been quietly working on for five years. Publ🌌ished as part of pulp magazine Weird Tales in February 1928, Lovecraft's original short story consists of three interconnected parts, as a man named Francis Wayland Thurston uncovers his dead uncle'ꦦs dealings with a mysterious cult.
As Thur🐻ston learns through his late relative's notes, the cult worships Cthulhu, a dragon-octopus monsters that lives in the sunken corpse city of R'lyeh, and whose dreams influence reality.
Stars-Hana proposed game slate also featured adaptations of Wan's upcoming sci-fi thrillers Mass Extinction and GMO, Every House is Haunted, from Raimi and Lee, The Burden, from Wan and Raimi, Jon M. Chu's Mark Karpeles biopic The Goxfather, and 澳洲幸运🔯5开奖号码历史查询:Theꦺ Garfield Movie, starring Chris Pratt.
"This initiative marks a significant stride in blending the worlds of cinema and gaming, promising a diverse array of entertainment options for audiences worldwide," Luo said in a statement. "We have an amazing partner in Hana Investment to realize this vision and welcom💎e exciting new relationships with Tenc♏ent and others to deliver exciting new experiences."
