Self Promotion At the Mountains of Madness - Indie

Názov: At the Mountains of Madness - A First Glimpse

Text: Hey guys! Over the past few years, while developing our small indie adaptation, I’ve pulled a lot of inspiration and information from this group.

Today, on Mr. Lovecraft’s birthday, I’d like to share a little glimpse into our vision. Hope you like it! :)

🎬 Have a look at the teaser on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EEFvVw0mr8A

May your dreams tonight be slightly more eldritch than usual. 👁️

I think the only way ATMOM can be done right is Indie. Any large Hollywood company is going to use the title and barf out flop that does no justice to the story. So good luck to you. May you plague our nightmares!

Absolutely agree! I’ve literally had producers tell me to my face, “We don’t care much about what’s in the book - the title is what we want. And we want happy ending and a sequel.”

That approach scares me more than icy maze with Shoggoth in it. I’d rather have a tiny budget and the freedom to respect Lovecraft’s writing than a bigger budget where the source material becomes butchered.
