Actually I don't think this makes out Poe to be an action here. This more reminds me of Johnny Depp's portrayal of Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow. A man out of his depth, haunted by his past who suddenly finds himself thrust into this life and death situation. Poe though will be both feel guilty because he'll feel his stories gave the killer all his ideas, and also determined more than anyone to stop the killer and get redemption
this is the best effort of hollywood to bring you some literature , by this i mean that if you see the movie the killings are well heavy that yoyu might look for the books where you can read any detail of the dead an horror , i like this , that is why montblank create a especial edition penn pretty expensive in his name
This could have been such a better movie if they had taken it seriously and not made it into an action flick. To pose a rather perfect comparison I say look to Capote.
Oh, my God, this looks so cool! March 9th, I WILL be in line to see this in theaters. Poe as a detective tracking down a serial killer who's basing his crimes off of his works? That is insanely brilliant.
@supermankicksass He's not a bad actor. But as a borderline Poe fanatic, I don't think he fits the part at all, from what they've given us in this trailer. I will reserve final judgment until after I've seen the whole movie, but right now it just looks like he's playing himself in period costume.
This is what I wanted Sherlock Holmes to be like, not saying I dislike what they did with Sherlock Holmes, but this is more like what I wanted. I'm extremely happy to see a film like this coming out and I'll be seeing both this and Sherlock Holmes. Christmas came early.
This looks like something along the lines of Sleepy Hollow (1999) and From Hell (2001). Can't wait for it! At least there will be a film worth seeing this spring.
@jenniferashley95 exactly! actually they used a lot from poe, because that fucking genius had a notebook full of those kind of stuff which he later used in his novels. gotta love him.
this looks very good i do agree that this film does have some jack the ripper mixed with phantom of the opera--robert englund version of the film but i do like this movies its pretty good....a good serial killer mystery with Edgar Allen Poe trying to stop a serial killer. i like the trailer its an A++++ John Cusack doesn't look like Edgar but who cares the story looks interesting.

Hello there music appreciator. I know this looks like spam But PLEASE HEAR ME OUT
-Do bluesy bands likes Zeppelin, Floyd, Joplin, Doors, Hendrix, and The Who give you chills? Are you physically attracted to seeking truth in music? Well I am formally inviting you to take a listen to my channel, Using your open mind take the time to hear my tunes.. your subscribtion to my channel will help me show the world my music. Much Love.
Okay I like how you tried to copy the style of Sherlock Holmes the entire movie, yet kept it dark for an older audience. That last line, "I'll send you to hell." is overused. New ideas, please.
"Beloveds wife?" Wasn't Edgar Alan Poe like married to his cousin or something gross like that? Not sure but I remember from my school days that he was a messed up dude in the head like that...
Maybe if there weren't so many "methodical killers" out there, and if they wouldn't have put up the trap from Saw, and maybe, just maybe, brought something interesting into this, then yes, it would've spiked interest.
am I the only one who thinks this looks pretty damn good?!! .... storyline reminds me somewhat of the first episode of 'Castle' .... course I expect it will have much less humour and sexual tension in it :P
@Dekar41: Why not? I just finished a book from the later 80's called "The Man Who Was Poe" by AVI. In it, EAP does indeed become an action hero trying to solve the mystery a family who disappeared all of whom belong to a little boy. The boy, named Edmund, helps him solve the mystery. It was actually pretty good. It combined fact, fiction as well as several of his works. So again, I ask, why not?
Let's see, The Raven, Pit & Pendulum, Masque of the Red Death (based on the ball shots). What else could we see played out? Tell-Tale Heart? Cask of Amontillado? I think I might actually want to see this.
This looks like an amazing movie! Im definately going to go watch it when it comes out.
