80's heart-throb John Cusack has signed on to play famed horror/suspense writer Edgar Allen Poe in the up-coming film The Raven. The movie is being directed by Wachowskis' protege James McTeigue (Ninja Assassin).

The Story follows Poe during the last 5 days of his life when he is forced to partner up with a detective to find a serial killer who's gone on a kill spree that mimc's Poe's work and also kidnapped his fiance.

I don't think this will be a good movie, but it could be a fun movie.
