Spike Lee is getting ready to unleash the ultimate Lovecraftian monster/God, Cthulhu in Netflix’s upcoming movie Gordon Hemingway & the Realm of Cthulu which Lee will be producing.
Variety is reporting that See You Yesterday‘s Stefon Bristol will be directing the film which is “set in East Africa in 1928 and centers on Gordon Hemingway, a roguish Black American gunslinger, who teams up with the elite warrior Princess Zenebe of Ethiopia to rescue the country’s kidnapped regent from an ancient evil.”
Hank Woon penned the original screenplay. Lloyd Levin and Beatriz Levin will be producing alongside Lee.
The last time we saw Cthulu he appeared in the hit series “Lovecraft Country.” Created by H.P. Lovecraft, the giant Elder God made his debut in the magazine Weird Tales in 1928 in a story called “The Call of Cthulu”. Since then we have seen him manifest in an array of stories, books, and games.
