Howard Phillips "H. P." Lovecraft is one of the most acclaimed horror story writers of all time. Among his most recognized works is The Call of Cthulhu, which has inspired many films, novels, and even video games. Well, not only is an adaptation of this work coming to the big screen, but also a video game.

As part of a collaboration between Stars Collective and Hana Investment, Stars-Hana was created, "a multimedia fund to invest in films, games, collectibles, consumer goods, artificial intelligence, and metaverse technology" over the next 3 years.

This week, more details about this partnership emerged from an event organized by the companies, revealing that they have several projects in the planning stages.

Who will develop the Call of Cthulhu game?

In addition to the film Garfield: Far from Home (which would be the first), both companies are working on video games for the films Every House is Haunted, The Burden, Hunting Season, The Goxfather, Memory Lost in Space, GMO, Mass Extinction, as well as a new film inspired by The Call of Cthulhu, according to a report from Deadline.

The latter project is noteworthy because the film adaptation in question does not yet exist; it would be directed by filmmaker James Wan (Mortal Kombat), and it was simultaneously confirmed that the project would be adapted into a video game.
