    Eh...no. If the name cited was Bryan Fuller, I'd be all over it, but he's the one who created Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies, not Sonnenfeld.

    Dude was associated with Pushing Daisies? I'll give the pilot episode a try, at the very least. That show buys you a lot of credit with me. Of course if it sucks I'll dump it like a bad piece of pickled mango, but I'll at least give it a shot.

    I've seen this before
    I never thought I would see it again.

    They'll remake a show
    and hope nobody knows

    @Random434: I wouldn't be so sure as it is slated to be a half hour sitcom. Generally not much dark and destructive in that.

    @it must be bunnies: Well I would say that it depends on how much leway there is. Can you honestly tell me that if he started a Half hour sitcom as dark as Adams Family, that it wouldn't funny enough?

    @Random434: Hey, I would love something quirky, dark and creative! Dead Like Me is one of my favourite series. The half hour format may not lend itself to that kind of show.

    But the main problem is getting the network to green-light it and allow it to build a following. It will be interesting to see what he develops and if it is allowed to find an audience.

    I have waitied since the 1960's for one decent adaptation of a HPL story and all I got was the really cool Call Of Cthulu that was fan based made.Hollywood has yet to do anything good for HPL.
    Check out that silent film I suggested if you have not already seen it as it was done really well in my humble opinion.

    @Lightice: Well, there's always John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. I guess this might not meet your criteria of "high-quality" or "high-budget" but it's a rollicking good Lovecraftian horror movie.
