Alas, I'm still worried about the role that

Makes sense. That was probably the greatest horror they found.

Looks like it won a ton of awards too...

Wait, form the way you said it, it sounded like you were saying Lovecraft was gay to me. What?

No. Well, he might have been, Lovecraft's sexuality is the subject of much debate- many believe he actually didn't have a sexuality at all.
The 2007 Cthulhu movie isn't about Lovecraft, it's about a fictitious gay protagonist who must grapple with the film's eponymous Old God. The plot, as I understand it, is actually more similar that of to A Shadow Over Innsmouth than that of The Call of Cthulhu, but its nevertheless a very loose adaptation. The movie's basically an original story which uses the public domain Lovecraft Mythos as a metaphor for the central character's angst and stuff.

Oh I see. It sounds good, kind of. Although I'd say it is probably going to be benign.

While I know Burton would do an absolutely excellent job, I'll reserve my judgment of Stallone's directing skillz for -after- I see this movie...if he actually makes it.
