The Raven Trailer: John Cusack Gets Into Edgar Allan Poe's Gory Lore

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 10:49:49 PDT

If you're at all familiar with the work of Edgar Allan Poe, then you know just how dark and twisted the 19th-century writer could be. With that in mind, it's no surprise that the trailer for the The Raven looks mysterious and gruesome - it centers on a serial killer that gets inspiration from Poe's various tales. Naturally, the detective that's investigating (Luke Evans) immediately points a finger at Edgar himself (John Cusack). When Edgar asserts his innocence, he gets sucked into the murderer's sordid game that eventually targets Edgar's love (Alice Eve) to be the subject of one of Edgar's stories.

The film looks creepy (if not downright nauseating), and it's fun to recognize Poe's various work, like "The Pit and the Pendulum." My biggest gripe about the trailer is that I'm not completely buying Cusack as Poe, particularly his delivery with some of the dated dialogue. The film hits theaters next March, but get your first peek after the jump.

Matthew McConaughey Looks Good in the Big Easy

Katie Henry — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:15:00 PDT

Matthew McConaughey suited up and reported to the set of The Paperboy on location in New Orleans yesterday. He joins an impressive cast of actors in the Lee Daniels-directed project including Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and John Cusack. Nicole and Zac made some major hair changes for the film; Nicole debuted platinum blond hair earlier in the week while Zac was seen leaving his trailer with lighter locks. Matthew seems to be sticking with his slicked-back curls in addition to his fresh-off-the-beach golden glow. It's been a relatively quiet, and clothed, Summer for Matthew, but we'll get to see more of his perfectly toned torso next week when we kick off PopSugar's annual shirtless bracket! For now he's logging time in front of the camera, and soon enough he'll hit the road promoting another project, Killer Joe. Matthew will join fellow heavy hitters like George Clooney and Brad Pitt debuting new films in the coming months at the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals.

Nicole Kidman Delivers a Hot, Blond Look For The Paperboy

Katie Henry — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:27:56 PDT

A newly blond Nicole Kidman arrived on set with her costar John Cusack in New Orleans today. Production on The Paperboy has begun, and director Lee Daniels put together an all-star cast including Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, and Tobey Maguire. Nicole was one of the last actors to sign on. She was a replacement for Sofia Vergara after the latter had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with Modern Family. The new hue comes as a big change for Nicole, who recently stepped out in NYC with her husband, Keith Urban, modeling her trademark red tresses. It's been a busy year personally and professionally for Nicole, since she wrapped up work on HBO's Hemingway & Gellhorn this Spring and kicked back on a family vacation in Australia with Keith, Sunday, and Faith Urban last month.

Role Player: Which John Cusack Is Hotter?

TresSugar — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 08:00:13 PDT

John Cusack's new movie, Hot Tub Time Machine, is out this weekend, so what better time to look back at how he's changed over time? He may have lost to Freddie Prinze Jr. in the first round of our Teen Heartthrob Bracket (you can vote in the latest round now!), but I'd say he's improved with age anyway. So maybe this contest is better for John. After all, it can't get much better than competing against yourself - or can it?
