Now that the critical dust has settled on John McTeigue’s fictional account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe perhaps it’s time to welcome The Raven onto DVD and Blu-ray with a soupçon of reappraisal? I wasn’t too kind to the film on its release. What ground there was to build a dark and [...]
In spinning a macabre yarn around the final, mysterious days in the life of Edgar Allan Poe John Cusack and V for Vendetta director John McTeigue have delivered a film which cannot live up to the grisly beauty of Poe’s work and which fails to rise above the very ordinary serial killer fiction shoehorned into [...]
How much do any of us really know in terms of what to expect from a film these days? Recent history is littered with impressive premises and trailers giving way to crushingly mediocre finished products, which makes The Raven a difficult one to call. It could be Seven meets Sleepy Hollow (in a good way), [...]
A new trailer has appeared online for John McTeigue’s film The Raven which takes a fictional swipe at the last days of poet of the night (not ‘of the night’ in a prostitute way, not nocturnal, you know what I mean) Edgar Allan Poe, and it’s rather nice. John Cusack beards up and takes on [...]
When it was announced that James McTeigue had cast John Cusack in the role of Edgar Allan Poe in The Raven eyebrows were raised and expectations gamely followed. A fictionalised account of the author’s involvement in a police investigation of a serial killer using his work as inspiration seemed like a novel concept and some [...]
If you thought the first teaser poster for James McTeigue’s forthcoming movie The Raven was eye-catching, just wait until you see this latest one: the striking second teaser pares the design back to just the silhouette of a raven set against a scarlet background, with an ominous line of blood running down to the title [...]
Relativity Media have released a couple of new images for their new movie, The Raven which is showing this weekend during Comic-Con which is currently taking place in San Diego. The movie stars John Cusack, Luke Evans, Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen and it’s directed by James McTeigue. In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allan Poe (John [...]
Relativity Media have released the rather awesome first poster for The Raven ahead of the screenings which are taking place this weekend during Comic-Con. The movie stars John Cusack, Luke Evans, Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen and it’s directed by James McTeigue. In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack, Being John Malkovich) joins forces [...]
It’s been a while since we’ve seen or heard anything from the set of John McTeigue’s next, The Raven, and frankly this first look at John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe is only a step above the very first pics which leaked from the set and is nothing like as atmospheric as this beauty from [...]
John Cusack continues his trend of juggling the more serious pictures with lighter fare with news from Variety that he is set to headline a “screwball comedy of manners” called Dictablanda (Soft Dictator). The Hot Tub Time Machine star is also producing the flick through his company, and has co-written the script with Kevin Morris [...]
We have been able to bring you a few on set snaps of the John Cusack-starring film The Raven, which tells a fictionalised tale of the final period of Edgar Allan Poe’s life, in which he tries to catch a serial killer whose murders mirror those of Poe’s poems and stories. Some of the pictures [...]
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 [...]
There was a definite raising of eyebrows and the quiet murmur of moderate intrigue when the announcement was made that John Cusack was to play Edgar Allan Poe in James McTeigue’s The Raven, and today we get our first look at the man and the facial hair. Looking far more like Poe than my appalling [...]
Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) has signed on to direct Eliza Graves, a film loosely based on an Edgar Allan Poe short story. Peli replaces Jodie Foster, who was originally in line to direct. Natalie Portman and Ian McKellan have both been mentioned in connection with roles. Eliza Graves centers on a Harvard Medical School graduate [...]
2012 was an odd film in more ways than one. Chief amongst the mysteries is how exactly they persuaded John Cusack to star in a film which was one part hokum, twenty eights parts CG showreel. Following his trip back to the future in Hot Tub Time Machine he took a part in Mikael Håfström’s [...]
