In 1919, everyone wanted a copy of the deluxe edition of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination, but not because it was bound in vellum with real gold lettering.

“The Raven” is a historical thriller about the pursuit of a serial killer whose crimes seem to mimic the plots of Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) stories. When a detective (Luke Evans) discovers that a horrific double murder in Baltimore was committed in a style very similar to a death described in one of Poe’s works, he teams up with Poe to solve the mystery. Similar deaths in the style of Poe’s works continue to occur, however, and Poe also...

The Chiefs selected Memphis nose tackle Dontari Poe with the No. 11 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night. Check out the videos below for what Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli had to say about Poe, plus other Chiefs draft videos.  

THE BEST THING about the new thriller “The Raven” is John Cusack’s amped-up performance as Edgar Allan Poe. Cusack lost 30 pounds and pushed himself to the point of exhaustion to play Poe, a sometime action figure in “The Raven” who gallops on horseback through the fog and shoots guns. Cusack, however, said the really taxing aspect of the role was trying to achieve Poe’s famously agitated mental state.

I can imagine it now. I see a group of Hollywood bigwigs sitting around a table, mindlessly tossing "What if ..." story scenarios at each other like a bunch of teenage stoner conspiracy theorists.

What if, before his death, he was called upon to investigate a string of murders based on his own short stories and poems? What if...  

"Poe's work, full of murder, madness, ghosts and febrile passion, is irresistible to filmmakers because of its bold imagery and powerful emotional impact. But despite these sensational qualities Poe is not nearly as movie ready as his writing seems. The big problem is that he wrote almost exclusively in short forms, and his stories' effects are highly concentrated, like shots of neat whiskey."...
