IGN Movies is excited to debut the first teaser poster for The Raven, Relativity Media’s upcoming thriller set during the mysterious last days of author-poet Edgar Allen Poe. The film, directed by V for Vendetta’s James McTeigue, will be part of Relativity’s panel presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. Here’s the film’s official synopsis: “In this gritty thriller, Edgar Allen Poe (John Cusack, Being John Malkovich) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans, Immortals) to hunt down a mad serial killer who’s using Poe’s own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders. When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper—part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story.”
