Guillermo Del Toro tried to get this made some years ago but the deal fell through.
Looks like it was only released in the UK.
I’m pretty sure they will discover that climate change is primarily fueled by shoggoth farts.
Freegards
I have yet to see a film adaptation of Lovecraft’s stories that wasn’t terrible. Hopefully thus will break the trend.
A while back saw a pretty entertaining Lovecraftian ice monster tale complete with evil Santa’s elves:

What a frightful story that was. I was 11 and books were my world. Doc Savage, R.E. Howard and H.P.
The classics, too. The joys of living in a free country where you can read and watch what you wanted. I loved it.

As soon as they brought up climate change that killed it for me.
I just got back into reading Lovecraft, been since I was a teenager

I fear it will fall into the same problem that ‘John Carter of Mars’ did - it’s hard to have a fictional world become even slightly believable when we already know all it’s geography.
It’s just too much for most audiences to overcome.
I think a far better high-budget HPL movie would be ‘The Case of Charles Dexter Ward’. Some low-budget efforts have tried, but the story demands Essential saltes...
Ia! Ia!
One of my favorite novels. Is this movie out yet?
