John Cusack stars as Edgar Allen Poe in James McTeigue's intriguing-looking thriller, The Raven. Here's the first trailer for it...
John Cusack proved in 1408 that he could hold the screen single-handedly, no matter what the quality of material he was working with. In the case of The Raven, the material looks a good deal stronger, as he gets to play Edgar Allen Poe, investigating a crime which appears to be based on his stories. And we've got our first glimpse at the movie right here.
It’s a smart trailer, this, and director James McTeigue (V For Vendetta, Ninja Assassin) looks like he’s wise enough to restrict the number of over-the-top fast cuts in favour of telling the story.
Take a look at the trailer and see what you reckon…
