We checked out a cool Lovecraftian short film entitled The Black Goat, written and directed by Joseph Nanni, recently and got word that there are big plans in store for the six-minute creation. The title of the film refers to Lovecraftian character Shub-Niggurath (also known as The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young) from the Cthulhu mythos.
Creator Nanni is currently working to turn The Black Goat into a feature film. During an interview on Undead Backbrain, Nanni said, “We’re in development and have a rather major distributor working with us. We haven’t talked cast yet, although Adam Wilson (Manson, Ending The Eternal) is locked in to play the lead. Production design has started, but I still may reach out to some Lovecraft luminaries for concept design.”
Aside from Wilson (who stars in the short film as well, Lovecraftian artist Dave Carson (see his imagining of Shub-Niggurath below) is attached to the project to, according to Nanni, “help us realize some Elder God nastiness for the upcoming Black Goat feature.”
Synopsis
Jacques Cowan is what the French call “a runner of the woods.” He may be a foreigner in the new world, but Jacques quickly learned the ways of the native people, their language, their routes, and their skills. But he didn’t leave his life in another land for adventure, freedom, and wealth — he had much more in mind than trading pelts and cheating death. Jacques had listened intently to the stories that had crossed the ocean, extraordinary tales of mystical creatures and unknown forces. Black Goat finds Jacques mid-hunt, as he closes in on what others thought was a legend. What he doesn’t realize is that the legend is on a hunt of its own.
