From the link:
"The 45-year-old actor (John Cusack) said he was eager to take on the role of the "godfather of Goth" in this fictionalized account of Poe's final days. In The Raven, the writer forms a reluctant partnership with a police detective to catch a murderer who kills his victims by following elements of Poe’s stories. Alice Eve plays Poe’s love interest, Alice, and Luke Evans plays the police detective. The film is directed by James McTeigue."
What?! LOL
It's supposed to be released in March.
