Make a movie about something that categorically cannot be visually represented.
>a movie
>impossible visual representation
Director's got big balls...
Mason Jackson
i don't get why people say this cannot be put on screen. the story is more than just the color being not known by humans. there are a dozend ways to put some effect in there to make it stand out. think annihilation.
Benjamin Diaz
This (but the opposite)
Luke Collins
As long as some faggot producer doesn't stick his beak in it and fuck it up with his ego it has a chance to be great.
Austin King
The german movie wasn't so bad, it'll give you an idea on how it will be

Matthew Nguyen
They already made a movie based on that.
Robert Collins
But we already did
Jacob Jenkins

A reminder:
Lovecraftian fiction contains the following elements, all of which can be easily translated in a visual medium:
MYSTERY PLOT
lovecraftian fiction is all about the economy of information and its effects. It needs to be about figuring stuff out. Clues, documents, traces, hints, implications, reports, hearsay, accounts.
GROSS SHIT
but only in small, focused amounts. Both cultural and physical, to hint at even worse things to come.
AESTHETICS OF DISEASE
nature turning against itself; hypertrophia; overpopulation; aberrant survival; mental degradation; cultural and physical atavism; inability to adapt; failure of all organic processes at work in the world to work harmoniously. Not outright destruction.
INEFFECTUALITY OF VIOLENCE
blowing shit up can only slow down the progress of weird shit
AMORAL ANTAGONISTS
reducing them to human psychological and moral terms would cheapen them
FUTILITY OF RATIONAL THOUGHT
a greater understanding is never comforting, and cannot durably solve anything
SMALL SCALE ACTION
if world-changing events happen, it's in the background, away from what the protagonists can do.
GLOBAL SCALE IMPLICATIONS
that's where the "cosmic" part comes in: realization that what's fucked-up right now is actually fucked-up everywhere forever. Massive conspiracies, impending catastrophes, etc
and of course
BAD ENDING OR TEMPORARY PYRRHIC VICTORY
Tyler Rodriguez
No.
Wyatt Hill
formerly colour out of space
Jonathan Allen
Coppola's Dracula surprisingly is unironically Lovecraft kino
Joshua Morris
Well, well. Look at the city slicker pulling up with his fancy German movie.
Dominic Rogers
So true detective season 1, basically?
Christian Rodriguez
How are you supposed to present a colour that nobody has ever seen before?
Gabriel Anderson
Just make it purple.
Thomas Watson
just make it blue
