The Raven, a Victorian thriller starring John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe will open in theaters April 27, 2012. I love the time period. I love the subject matter. I even like John Cusack...but as Edgar Allan Poe!? This sounds like a terrible idea and judging from the trailer I just watched it will be an even worse film. A film about Edgar Allan Poe should be dark, creepy, and macabre. It should not be a blockbuster action thriller.
Watch the trailer below:
