Jordan Drank, JJ Abrams and the TV series “land of Lovecraft”

Looks like Jordan Peele came to horror a long time. With his name linked more and more thematic projects here and there are heard a variety of rumors, and, of course, people do not get tired of praising his film “Away” (Get Out). We have already learned about the plans of the Director for the sequel, they estimated the chances of “Oscar” and in General find out what he’s going to promote black horror. Latest news just confirms the intention Saw to talk on serious topics, particularly about racism.

The company Saw Monkeypaw Productions has teamed up with Bad Robot George. John. Abrams and Warner Bros Television to adapt for TV novel Matt ruff “land of Lovecraft” (Lovecraft Country). The corresponding order has arrived from HBO. The pilot will write Mike green, most known as the Creator of the series “the Underground” (“Underground”) — the historical drama about runaway slaves. She would be the show-run and Executive producer of the new show. As producers will speak and Drink with Abrams and company will be named Ben Stevenson. The series itself is supposed to submit to the anthology.

So what is this “land of Lovecraft”? About the book we wrote at the end of last year, when the editors of “Foreign fiction from Astrel-SPb” publishing house AST was top of the best foreign horror books 2016. Roman Matt ruff sported there on the first page:

This year there were a lot of very interesting works related with the works of HP Lovecraft. All of them just not to mention. Tell about one thing, and it’s a great Matt ruff, unfortunately, not so known to us (if anyone knows about his “Trilogy of public works”, we recommend you to see). In 2016, he made an unexpected move and released the novel “Lovecraft Country”, although previously sympathetic to the horror they were not. Combining black humor, historical fiction, southern Gothic and, of course, Lavrovsky mythology, raff has created a novel that not only tells us about the horrors and ancient gods, but also involves the issues of racism and history, in fact being rather the controversy with Lovecraft. By the way, the “land of Lovecraft” has received praise from Neal Stephenson, who used the genre of horror was not interested.

Southern Gothic, Ancient gods, and even debate with Lovecraft, who was recently stripped of the title of the “face” of the world fantasy award just because of racism… to Say that it all sounds interesting – nothing to say. Will follow. And yet, perhaps this news will push publishers to publish the “land of Lovecraft” in Russian. At least, eyes on a book already put.
