I appreciate it anytime a filmmaker decides to make a film based on anything H.P. Lovecraft. This time it’s Fierro Films making a screen adaptation of PICKMAN’S MODEL.
Today we got a poster, a still and a trailer for the film, which is about:
When two estranged friends, Thurber and Eliot, meet for drinks, Eliot finds that Thurber is not the person he once knew. Thurber reveals that Pickman, a man he was using as a source for a paper on Weird art, is linked to his change in demeanor.
It begins with a simple invitation to view Pickman’s work at his isolated studio in Boston’s North End. And ends with the apprehension that what lurks in the foreground of Pickman’s work is far more sinister than the art itself.
Lovecraft’s works are dark and moody and are truly original (at lleast I think). The film stars Jesse Murphy, Connor Timmis, and Derek Meinecke. It was co-written and directed by Gary Fierro. To see the official website for the film, go to FierroFilms.com.
