mmmmm, Amber Heard. Nuff said.
I'm still waiting for Mr.Carpenter doing an adaptation of a Lovecraft story,it would be the ultimate treat for us,horror movie buffs…
Yes John,you ('re the only one who) can!
He did one already. In the Mouth of Madness.
Ah no…you're (comprehensively) mistaken….
The work by Lovecraft is called "At the Mountains of Madness",and is now currently being filmed by Guillermo Del Toro (of Pan's Labyrinth…)and will be in 3D…–not something to look necessarily forward to–
But the feel of John's "In the Mouth…" is indeed so close to Lovecraft's work (and indeed inspired by it as he admitted),that it could the Ctulhu-master himself.
One of the reasons btw,that I mentioned that Carpenter should adapt Lovecraft himself (The only director who can create the same atmosphere).
And of course Joe Bottin has to design the creatures!
I guess Heard is vying for the title of horror Queen the past couple of years.
I love Amber very much
Unfortunately the horror genre has overtaken Carpenter's talents now – it's all gore, loud noise, MTV editing, CGI, and hysterics. Poor old John is too much of a craftsman to make anything that younger moviegoers would find scary. Still, I hope he's sticking to his 'classic' style for this new film and not compromising/pandering to the current horror climate.
oh amber heard another goddess. i will see this for 2 reason 1 amber 2 john
