Mystery, horror and murder. Three key ingredients in any classic Edgar Allen Poe macabre tale, from "The Tell-Tale Heart" to "The Pit and the Pendulum" to the original modern detective story, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." But in this Friday's new thriller The Raven, director James McTeigue and screenwriters Ben Livingstone and Hannah Shakespeare use the author and poet's own (fictionalized) life to provide audiences with some unforgettable drama.
Here's the scoop: When a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Poe's popular works, a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) joins forces with the struggling author (John Cusack) to stop him from making anymore of his disturbing stories a reality.

We got our first official look at John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe in the upcoming The Raven back in June, and he looked pretty fantastic.

Our first look at Alice Eve as the female lead in the film came with the batch of images back in July, and we’ve now got our first hi-res look at her courtesy of Bloody Disgusting. Rest assured, though, the picture is far from bloody disgusting, showing Eve fit for a ball...
