Relativity Media has released over 40 new images for the upcoming Edgar Allan Poe action thriller THE RAVEN.
In THE RAVEN, Edgar Allen Poe (John Cusack) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) 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, the film also stars Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen.
What we can gleam from these stills is that this is going to be a very dark movie, literally. It does not appear that much of the film is set during the daytime and if it is, those hours are spent with the shades drawn.
I liked V FOR VENDETTA so I am giving James McTeigue a chance with this one. There is something about taking real historical people and putting them in fantastical situations that just makes me want to watch them. I feel the same excitement for ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER.

THE RAVEN opens April 27th, 2012.
