The best news I've heard all week has just crossed my table. The always awesome John Cusack (High Fidelity, 1408, Grosse Point Blank) has been cast as Edgar Allen Poe in the flick, The Raven. The flick is to be directed by James McTiegue, whom previously helmed the fun V For Vendetta and the superbly grotesque Ninja Assassin.
In the film, Poe will investigate a series of murders happening in and around Baltimore in 1850. The news comes via Cusack's Twitter.
I'm really praying for the best here. Cusack is a fine actor and I believe McTiegue has the ability to direct a really great movie, so let's hope this is it!
