Check out the trailer for Alice’s upcoming movie.

According co-producer, Marc D. Evans, The Raven will make it’s theatrical debut March 9, 2012 and will be distributed by Relativity Media. Luke Evans, one of the films stars gave teased reporters about what fans can expect:

“They’re kind of playing with factual history. It’s set in the last few days of Poe’s life, when he was unaccounted for, for some period of time, before he turned up incoherent and died shortly after. Our story takes that and accounts for what happened. It starts with his return to Baltimore in this period. About the same time a series of killings starts, and the killer is using Poe’s stories as inspiration. So Poe is first a suspect and must work with a Baltimore police inspector to solve a series of crimes, not just to clear to clear his name, but because his fiancée is kidnapped. We took a little bit of artistic license!”

Producer Mark D. Evans had lots to say plot-wise about James McTeigue’s upcoming flick The Raven starring John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe, Ewan McGregor, Luke Evans and Alice Eve. Check out the fresh info courtesy of Screen Daily below:

“Historically what happened was Poe had disappeared, then turned up on a park bench in someone else’s clothes, fell into a coma and died,” said Evans. “We’re playing with the historical happenstance of what could have happened in those missing days.”

The Raven begins with Poe (played by Cusack) arriving in Baltimore as a serial killer is terrorizing the city, using the writer’s stories as the inspiration for his crimes. Poe is a suspect at first, but he eventually joins forces with a police inspector to solve the crimes and save the woman he loves.

“It’s hard to replicate 1849 Baltimore in Baltimore,” he continued. “It became apparent that we’d have to create our own vision of the city. James [McTeigue, director] was trying to show Baltimore through Poe’s eyes, which is a darker, macabre vision of the city. That gave us some creative latitude to look domestically and internationally for a location that would allow us to get as much money on the screen as possible.”

Relativity Medias has acquired the marketing and distribution rights for director James McTeigue’s new movie, The Raven, the studio announced via a press release. The movie was produced by Intrepid Pictures, and stars John Cusack, Luke Evans, Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen.

The Raven is a fictionalized story of the end of Edgar Allan Poe’s life, as he trails a serial killer who copies killings detailed in his work. The movie began shooting in Hungary in November before it moved to Serbia last month. Production wrapped earlier this month.

‘Bruce Almighty’ writer Ben Livingston and ‘Loverboy’ author Hannah Shakespeare penned ‘The Raven,’ which is being produced by Trevor Macy and Marc D. Evans. The two producers released a joint statement, saying they’re excited to be working Relativity on the movie. “We’re also very pleased that Relativity is committed to helping deliver this film to the widest possible audience,” they added.

It appears the name “Emily” will hopefully be a good luck charm for Alice in 2011. It’s been revealed Alice will be playing a character by the name “Emily” in not one, but two films!

Alice’s character name in ATM has been revealed: Emily. ATM is a thriller about three co-workers trapped in an ATM machine by an unknown stranger fighting for their lives.

Alice will not be playing the role of Virgina Clemm-Poe in the upcoming film, The Raven, as previously reported. Alice will be featured as a woman named Emily – though it is unspecified how her character will pertain to the story. The Raven is a fictionalized account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe’s life, in which the poet is in pursuit of a serial killer whose murders mirror those in the writer’s stories.

Neither film has a set release date as of yet.

Back in August it was announced that John Cusack would be taking on the mantle of the legendary Edgar Allan Poe in The Raven, which comes from director James McTeigue and is set in the last days of Edgar Allan Poe’s life, at the time when he becomes embroiled in a serial killer investigation.

Last month we saw the first image of Cusack on set as Poe, and now we have the first official image from the film, a rather moody black and white shot of Cusack and and actual raven!

The Raven also stars Luke Evans and Alice Eve. Evans plays detective who partners with Poe to search for said serial killer who has kidnapped the author’s fiancee (Eve) and has gone on a murder spree that mimics Poe’s work. (Source)

Universal has purchased the rights to Ricardo De Montreuil’s highly acclaimed short film “The Raven,” with Mark Wahlberg producing and starring in. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wahlberg will produce with Steve Levinson. Justin Marks will write the script.

The film centers on a young man with extraordinary powers being pursued around downtown Los Angeles by police robots, with a giant police ship controlling everything from the skies above.

Nick Osborne, Trevor Engelson and Oly Obst of Underground Films will executive produce.

The film should not be confused with FilmNation and Intrepid Pictures’ full-length feature film, “The Raven;” an adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe poem starring John Cusack, Luke Evans and Alice Eve. (Source)

It had been widely speculated that Alice would be featured in the James McTeigue film, “The Raven” staring alongside John Cusack. We can now put that speculation aside, it has been confirmed Alice will be playing the role of Virginia Clemm-Poe to Cusack’s Edgar Allan Poe. Written by Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare, The Raven does not have a release date as of yet. Hopefully photos of Alice onset will be released shortly!

A fictionalized account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe’s life, in which the poet is in pursuit of a serial killer whose murders mirror those in the writer’s stories.

A picture of John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe in V for Vendetta director James McTeigue‘s The Raven has surfaced on Styd marking the official beginning of filming.

As Poe, Cusack teams up with a detective hunting a serial killer who dispatches his victims in ways which echo the famous Baltimore horror writer’s stories.

The Raven is tentatively scheduled for a 2011 release and co-stars Alice Eve and Luke Evans. It was scripted by Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare.

Luke Evans and Alice Eve are in negotiation to join John Cusack in the thriller “The Raven.” Cusak will be portraying author Edgar Allan Poe who is attempting to find his kidnapped fiancé (Eve) from a serial killer… And the killer just happens to be on a murdering spree that mimics Poe’s work.

Initially cast in the role of the police detective assigned to Poe’s case was Jeremy Renner, but Renner bowed out in late August to film Mission: Impossible 4. Luke Evans will step into this vacated role. Evans has been busy this year, having shot Immortals during the summer and is currently wrapping The Three Musketeers, Paul W.S. Anderson’s adaptation of the classic novel.

Alice Eve recently completed The Decoy Bride, and is currently shooting ATM, a thriller from Gold Circle Films.

Directed by James McTeigue, filming for The Raven will take place in Budapest and Serbia which will stand in for 1849 Baltimore. Filming is set to begin on October 25th. (Source)
