James Wan‘s upcoming Lovecraft movie already seems to be facing some rivalry from another horror adaptation. Given how James Wan’s long line of work as a filmmaker primarily includes mainstream films like Furiosa 7, The Conjuring, Aquaman, and Insidious, it is interesting how the director is now pursuing a passion project by adapting HP Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu instead of solely focusing on mass appeal. As James Wan himself teased, his adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu is going to be hard to sell because of the esoteric nature of the ideas in Lovecraftian stories.
