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 [...]
We got our first official look at John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe in the upcoming The Raven back in June, and he looked pretty fantastic. We then got an utterly stunning first poster for the film a month later, followed by a great batch of images, and then a second follow-up poster that was [...]
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 [...]
James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin) is currently at Comic-Con in San Diego, drumming up support for his latest thriller The Raven, the poster for which we brought you only yesterday.

I’ve just watched one of the most action packed, martial art driven, blood splattering movie I’ve ever seen in the form of Ninja Assassin. The movie is directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) and stars Naomie Harris, a Korean pop idol called Rain, Ben Miles, and a former James Bond (Die Another Day) badie, [...]
NINJA ASSASSIN, the visually stunning, ninja masterpiece, slashes its way onto Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and Digital Download on 17th May The Wachowski Brothers, the creative minds behind The Matrix Trilogy, team up with director James McTeigue (Star Wars Episode II, V for Vendetta) and Joel Silver (Sherlock Holmes, Orphan, Rock n Rolla) to produce [...]
When I saw this trailer for Ninja Assassin I was expectingly curious, then I saw the test footage (see below) with the actor Rain going through the chorography of fighting scenes which was incredible and was even more excited by the prospect of a Ninja film from the makers of the Matrix, so it has [...]
Fellow film blogger Alex Billington at FirstShowing.net has conducted an insightful interview with Wachowski Brothers’ protege, James McTeigue. As well as answering questions about Ninja Assassin and why he opted for CG blood, he talks about his first film V for Vendetta, his upcoming project The Raven, a bit about his filmmaking background, but most interestingly [...]
