John Cusack ( High Fidelity) recently played a crime thriller version of Poe in 2012’s The Raven. The poet’s dark thematic style has often been projected onto the author himself, making for intriguing character portrayals in literature and film.

Together they pursue a sorcerer who murdered the fighter’s wife and is also seeking the restorative Throne of Solomon. A 300-page epic, the story follows Edgar Allen Poe in the 1840’s fighting demonic forces (while sometimes drunk) along with his partner who is a renowned fighter. Actor Idris Elba’s ( Obsession) Green Door Production Company is in the process of adapting the Marc Olden historical thriller Poe Must Die for a three part movie deal, reports Publisher’s Weekly.
