I'm a fan of Poe, so the idea of integrating his tales into a movie instantly appeals to me. My favorite story as a kid was "The Cask of Amontillado". I read it when I was in fifth grade and loved the phrase, "nemo me impune lacessit". As a nerdy kid (read: bully bait), the idea of exacting vengeance on one's oppressors rang true. :pirate: The director is supposed to be the James McTeigue, from "V for Vendetta"...another movie I love. Here's hoping I don't get my hopes up to be disappointed. It'll be like losing my virginity all over again.

Poe somehow gets called in to help investigate. So it should have a 19th century, Shelock Holmes-y feel. I like John Cusack in most roles, so I have hope for the movie.

(he's credited with writing the first detective story.) i can't recall if it was picked up or not.
