Six Of The Best – Little-Seen Gems

Audition v2

This sort of thing can rapidly turn into a vanity project, so I will have to watch my step a little. Laudable as it is to try to bring to people’s attention some splendid films which they may not have seen, it can swiftly deteriorate into, “oh gosh, you haven’t seen Cube: Zero, what kind [...]

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 [...]

John Cusack To Attend The Numbers Station

John Cusack

I won’t lie, I have all the time in the world for John Cusack. The man who brought us Being John Malkovich, Con Air, Grosse Pointe Blank, Identity and High Fidelity seems to rarely put a foot wrong and as that list shows, frequently puts it very right. The trailer for The Raven looks absolutely stunning, but [...]

The Raven Trailer Appears

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.

Alice Eve The Raven

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

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.

John Cusack Edgar Allan Poe Raven

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 Back in Comedy Mode with ‘Dictablanda’

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).

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 [...]
