Trailer for "H.P. Lovecraft's The Book"

A new trailer was recently uploaded to Youtube depicting the upcoming amateur film, "H.P. Lovecraft's The Book." It appears to be loosely based on the fragmentary story of the same name written by Lovecraft late in his career.

In the producer's own words, from his Untamed Aggression Productions website:

A man tries to unlock the meaning of the Necronomicon, the dreaded tome which sent his old professor insane, with HILARIOUS CONSEQUNCES! Adapted from two stories by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Book" and "The Descendant."

In the highly likely event that they pass, I may shoot it over Christmas or failing that, Easter. It all depends on the progress of...
