First Look: John Cusack As Edgar Allen Poe In McTeigue’s THE RAVEN

Back in August, we told you that John Cusack (2012, The Factory) had officially signed on to play Edgar Allan Poe in the upcoming thriller The Raven, directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta). The film is based on the Poe’s classic poem, and is set in the final five ‘mysterious’ days of the author’s life, when he gets wrapped up in a serial killer investigation.

Now we have our first look at Cusack on the Budapest, Hungary set of the film, decked out in full Poe garb (the black Nike’s really tie the whole thing together). Check out the pictures below!
