New Look at Cusack as Poe

Ooh, and it's in black-and-white too

The Huffington Post offers up the above image of John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe in V for Vendetta helmer, James McTeigue's The Raven, and this time it's a more official look than the previous set shot in which Poe was sporting a nice pair of Nike Shox.

The Raven was penned by Ben Livingston (Bruce Almighty) and Hannah Shakespeare (Loverboy) and is described as a fictionalized account of the final five "mysterious" days of Edgar Allan Poe's life. The story will follow the famous writer as he joins the hunt for a serial killer whose murders are inspired by his stories. "It's like the poem, 'The Raven,' itself, crossed with Se7en. It should be pretty cool. The script is really good and everyone responds to it really well. I'm in the middle of casting," said McTeigue.

Here's John Cusack doing a spot-on Edgar Allan Poe for the upcoming psychological thriller 'The Raven.'
Cusack announced his involved in the James McTeigue-directed film in August.
"official- will play edgar allen poe in fall-a-film called the raven, send any poe- gold - my way as i begin this journey into the abyss," he tweeted.
The movie is a fictionalized account of Poe's mysterious last days--spent, as speculated by some, following a serial killer inspired by his horror stories.

First Official Image Of John Cusack In The Raven

Published: 2010-12-13

About a month ago we were given our first look at John Cusack sporting his very best goatee in a spy image captured from the set of The Raven, the fictionalized story of Edgar Allan Poe’s final days. The image wasn’t official, but showed us that Cusack is pulling the look off. Today, The Huffington Post has gotten their hands on the first official promo image of Poe himself holding his iconic black bird.

Far from giving away anything about what we can expect from the film, the image still manages to be a decent look at Cusack doing something even more “Poe” than just standing in the street. Hopefully we’ll get something a little more substantial sooner rather than later. Have a look below, and scope out the quick synopsis below that.
A fictionalized account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe's life, in which the poet is in pursuit of a serial killer whose murders mirror those in the writer's stories.

Two New Pics of John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe in The Raven
Posted by Jon Lyus on December 13, 2010
Almost exactly a month ago we got our first look at John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe in John McTeigue’s The Raven, and while an on set pic of the man looking a little bored is all fine and well we’ve now got a far better look Cusack with the titular bird.

The Huffington Post had the pic, which is complemented below by another from Cusack’s twitter account and he certainly looks the part. The film is termed a psychological thriller based around the mysterious last days of Poe and a serial killer inspired by his works.
And a few hours ago John Cusack tweeted this picture of himself in suitably gloomy circumstances,
