I guess movies where humanity is destined to lose doesn't sell.

I'd say it's more that Lovecraft is nearly impossible to put on screen. The stories themselves aren't a good blueprint, actually, and Stuart Gordon constantly struggled with that.


HOWEVER, I think the key to getting Lovecraft stuff on screen should actually be coming from a completely different direction: Board Games (Shock!)


The Arkham Horror (And Eldritch Horror) board game distills the Lovecraft down to much much more narrative friendly components. That's where I think they should look.
