Unspeakably Eldritch Tori

More info on the Cthulhu movie I mentioned yesterday:

Her character is a "seductress," said Grant Cogswell, the Seattle screenwriter who wrote the Cthulhu script. Cottle plays a gay college professor from Seattle who returns to his home on the Oregon coast when his mother dies and gets mixed up with a mysterious cult and a sea monster whose name is the title of the movie. The script is based on an H.P. Lovecraft short story, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, Cogswell said.

Budgeted at $450,000 and directed and co-written by Portland-based filmmaker Dan Gildark, the picture will be shot primarily in Astoria, Ore., and Seattle, Cogswell said.

Good points: low budget, filmed in places not usually associated with movie-making. Bad points: original story had no "seductress" character, and the sexuality of the main character in the original story was a non-issue. I still think this one is going to be stinker. But it's not like bad movies haven't been made from Lovecraft stories before.
