D’Onofrio is one hell of an actor – he played Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, The Kingpin in a Daredevil TV show, and was co-lead on one of those Law & Order shows. He does an OK job here, but tbh I only watched the first half then I got distracted and never finished it.

IIRC, he also played Orson Welles in Ed Wood.

Anyway, wow… a film about RE Howard?!

Yeah at one point his parents are like: “Bob, you got a letter from some guy in New England… do you know a Howard Phillips Lovecraft?”
