'Hardware' director Richard Stanley's adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's 'The Colour out of Space' coming 'in the near future'
It has been almost exactly three years since Elijah Wood’s indie-horror production company SpectreVision announced that it was teaming with Hardware director Richard Stanley for a film adaptation of “weird” author H.P.

‘VENOM’ DIRECTOR RUBEN FLEISCHER TALKS HORROR INFLUENCES, EMINEM, AND A POTENTIAL UNRATED VERSION
“As a comic book fan, I've seen all the comic book movies. I didn't have to watch them specifically for this. I was more interested in the kind of classic ‘80s horror movies. American Werewolf in London was a big influence on me, just because of the experience of being taken over by another. You know, [David] Cronenberg and John Carpenter, I just love his classic horror movies. Aesthetically, the director of photography and I talked a lot about the look of those films. Those were probably the ones that come to mind first as far as the look and the feeling of the movie.”

ELI ROTH TAKES AUDIENCES ON A DEEP DIVE INTO THEIR NIGHTMARES IN AMC'S HISTORY OF HORROR
When Eli Roth's name comes up in conversations, it's a safe bet that horror films are the topic of said discussion. Even though it's been five years since Roth released his last genre movie -- 2013's Green Inferno, which was an ultra gruesome send-up to '70s horror classic, Cannibal Holocaust -- the writer-director still resides in the fandom that inspired him to make Cabin Fever, his first breakout hit.

Horror At The Box Office
Horror is sitting pretty at the box office right now! As of two weeks ago, “The Predator” had taken the top spot which aided in dropping “The Nun” down the second place.
“The Meg” was still holding up strongly in the 7th spot although the reviews coming from the horror community have been lacklustre to say the least. I personally enjoyed the film for its ability to crank out the jokes thanks to the actors involved but to claim it is a horror is truly an overstatement unless you have a personal fear of sharks or being underwater for long periods of time but in all, it is still a fun movie to watch.
As for this last week however, “The Nun” has taken over “The Predator” but both have been overtaken by both a kids and a “based on a novel” film which some people may or may not consider a horror film. Regardless, it’s purely based on the viewers mindset.
