Edgar Allen Poe Movie?

Question

It's supposed to be directed by Syllvestor Stallone. But it's been on Imdb.com for nearly three years. Are they going to make a movie or not?

Also, who do think would be the best actor for Poe? (Besides Johnny Depp)

Answer 1

Alan Rickman would be the best.

and why Stallone?? I don't get this. he was bad actor and now what .. he want to be even worst  as a director?

Answer 2

A movie about Poe might be interesting, or it might not, depending on which aspects of his life it was decided to depict. His death is something of a mystery and his antics at West Point could be amusingly depicted but I suspect a good deal of outright fiction or simplification would wind up being used to attract an audience. Sylvester Stallone seems like a poor and unlikely choice as the director for a movie about Edgar Allen Poe.

Answer 3

Depp is the obvious choice, but I think Alan Rickman would be a good Poe...he has that deep voice and a dark presence

Answer 4

come to think of it jonny depp would be great. other than him i would sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tom cruise. i think

Answer 5

They should still be maknig the movie, maybe Stallone isn't directing anymore or maybe the writer's strike slowed down production or something....

I looked it up and apparently Viggo Mortensen was offered the lead role but he's still considering it...Robert Downey, Jr. was also considered for the part. But if Viggo doesn't take it then it will go to Clifton Collins Jr. or John Hawkes. Stallone is currently working on other films at the moment so that's why he hasn't finished the Poe movie yet.

Johnny Depp would be perfect...if not him then...Robert Downey, Jr.

Answer 6

I don't get why stallone would even direct this movie. It seems kind of odd. But I do think Johhny would be a great actor to play him.
