John Cusack To Play Poe
Posted on | Sunday, August 14, 2011 | No Comments
According to The Rap Sheet, actor John Cusack is set to play Edgar Allan Poe in a movie called "The Raven" scheduled for March 2012. Quoting an Associated Press article, the blog said that in the movie Poe forms an alliance with a police detective to catch a murderer who kills his victims by following elements of Poe's stories. Being somewhat of a John Cusack fan, I'm intrigued, especially since the actor hasn't been in a watch-worthy thriller since "Identity". It'll be fun to see if he pulls it off, more importantly, if the movie makers keep the film authentic, instead of white-washing it in Hollywood-esque superficiality, like what happened with "Sherlock Holmes".
