Having finished up their A Song of Ice and Fire adaptation earlier this year with the final season of Game of Thrones (and exited their planned Star Wars trilogy at Lucasfilm), Deadline is reporting that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have found their next project.
According to the site, the duo are set to direct an as-yet-untitled thriller based upon Hans Rodionoff’s graphic novel Lovecraft, which is set in the 1920s and is described as follows:
The Necronomicon. Cthulhu, The Unnamable. The cursed town of Arkham. These icons of horror sprang from the imagination of H. P. Lovecraft. But consider this: what if the imaginary terrors that Lovecraft wrote about were not imaginary at all?

Apparently, talks with Warner Bros. have been ongoing for a number of years while the producers finished up their work on Game of Thrones, and the project is now moving ahead with a script from Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, whose credits include Aeon Flux, Ride Along and Destroyer.
