The intrinsic problem is the classic Lovecraft story is: scholar discoveries some terrible, ancient evil and goes mad or runs away. Thus doesn't lend itself to a big movie adaptation and the most successful Lovecraftian films have worn their inspiration lightly. I'd have loved to see what GdT did with MoM but I don't quite know how you could jazz it up for the general movie-going audience.
