We now have our first look at John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe in the upcoming period-thriller The Raven. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta), the story has Poe teaming up with a detective (played by Luke Evans) to search for a serial killer who has kidnapped the author’s fiancée (Alice Eve) and gone on a murder spree that recalls Poe’s stories.
Hit the jump to check out Cusack looking Poe-y. Also, click here for Steve’s interview with McTeigue where the director talks about the film.

Once again John Cusak shall impress us all!! So shall POE
I wasn’t aware of this project. It sounds great. I just hope it is executed well. I always thought that Poe, the man, was more interesting than most of his actual work–especially his poetry. Blech.
