James Wan to Adapt H.P. Lovecraft's 'The Call of Cthulhu' into Movie and Video Game

The Aquaman and Conjuring director has been quietly working on the project for five years, describing it as a 'dream project'.

James Wan, known for directing Aquaman and horror films like The Conjuring, is reportedly working on a movie adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's iconic horror story, The Call of Cthulhu.
Wan has described the project as a 'dream project' and has been quietly working on it for five years.
The Call of Cthulhu, first published in 1928, involves a man investigating a demonic cult known as Cthulhu.
In addition to the movie, the Sino-American fund Stars-Hana plans to develop a video game based on The Call of Cthulhu.
Wan's mastery of horror and big-budget fantasy suggests he could be the perfect filmmaker to bring the iconic story to life.
