From the THR article:

The gods have answered my prayers

Not quite. Still won't be rated R but at this point won't be awful. After this damn near 4 year fiasco with Blade I have no faith

 

[Peter Popoff]

Never seen Lovecraft- is this director a good choice?

Only up from here right?

I gotta thank Ali here. He told the previous director he wasn't having it.

Lovecraft country was a really really good series.

Looked good. Don't have HBO Max.

Lovecraft country was a really really good series.

the pilot was really good (which dude directed) but the series as a whole had some problems.

Good to see they finally ramping up but got damn... it's gonna be another 2 years away

2 years is not too far away if they start production asap.

 

[Bleed The Freak]

2 years is not too far away if they start production asap.

With as much downtime from casting to filming Ali better look like Lee/Chan/Snipes/Van Damme in the martial artists department.

Man I hope they don’t brighten this up. Keep it dark gritty

 

[Diunx]

This still PG 13?

Only up from here right?

I gotta thank Ali here. He told the previous director he wasn't having it.

Love craft country wasn’t a very good show. It had the outline of a good show but there were some issues. Hope they don’t bungle this.

 

[Duke Dixon]

He did the first episode of Lovecraft Country. I'd recommend watching it, you don't have to watch the whole show just treat it like a short story.

I wish it was R too.

 

[Real]

Phase 4 has convinced me this has zero chance of being better than the first 2

The new team puts the project back on track for after losing its original director, Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli) in September. The parting of ways was due to creative differences and occurred suddenly as the project was in pre-production and heading towards a November production start in Atlanta.
