Four New Images From ‘The Raven’ – Starring John Cusack, Luke Evans & Alice Eve

These four new images have found their way online from James McTeigue’s (V For Vendetta, Ninja Assassin) upcoming mystery thriller ‘The Raven.’ The images feature John Cusack and Luke Evans looking particularly suave and gothically dapper as Edgar Allan Poe and Inspector Emmit Fields respectively. The film is a fictionalized account of the mysterious final five days of Edgar Allan Poe’s life. The film follows the famous writer as he teams up with a detective to search for a serial killer whose murders are inspired by his stories. The film co-stars Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen, it’s set for a March 9th, 2012 release.

In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack, Being John Malkovich) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans, Immortals) to hunt down a mad serial killer who’s using Poe’s own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin), the film also stars Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster).

When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper—part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story.


Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe’s writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author’s help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer’s next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it’s too late.
