I have to say that I’ve been excited about this movie since I heard about it. The Raven, hits theaters on April 27th and it stars John Cusack and Luke Evans. I’m so happy that Luke is in this movie, if you haven’t seen him before he was pretty kick-ass in The Immortals.

Today, a sneak peek of the movie was released over at Entertainment Weekly. The TV Spot showing part of the movie. It sure pulled me in that’s for sure. I just have a thing with Edgar Allan Poe maybe.

See the trailer here.

The synopsis goes like this. The macabre and lurid tales of Edgar Allan Poe are vividly brought to life – and death – in this stylish, gothic thriller starring John Cusack as the infamous author. When a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Poe's darkest works, a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) joins forces with Poe in a quest to get inside the killer's mind in order to stop him from making every one of Poe's brutal stories a blood chilling reality. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, which escalates when Poe's love (Alice Eve, She's Out of My League) becomes the next target. Intrepid Pictures' The Raven also stars Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster).
