When a movie is based on maybe arguably America's first horror and detective fiction writer all we can do is hope and pray that it is worth wild. When i think of Edgar Allan Poe movies i always will think fondly of the Vincent Price films and what they brought to not only the progression of horror films but the spine tingling joy i got watching them on a Saturday night with Sven Ghoulie. But Rogue films has decided we need to re imagine the Poe story as Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) teams with a Baltimore detective Inspector Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) to hunt down a killer who is using Poe's short stories as a back drop to his killings. One thing hopeful for the film is James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) is directing. The film also stars Kevin McNally and the lovely Alice Eve. Release date has been moved back is still up in the air.
