First look at John Cusack in 'The Raven'

Relativity Media has debuted new photos and the first official poster for James McTeigue's upcoming movie "The Raven," in which John Cusack plays Edgar Allan Poe. Check out these items above and below. The thriller is set to open March 9, 2012.

When a mother and daughter are found murdered in Baltimore, a detective makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in the local newspaper, part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer Edgar Allan Poe.

Cusack plays the lead, with Luke Evans playing Detective Emmett Fields. Also starring are Brendan Gleeson and Alice Eve. James McTeigue also directed "Ninja Assassin" and "V for Vendetta." You can keep up with "The Raven" on Facebook.

Movie Review: “Ninja Assassin”

Seen on: November 19, 2009

The players: Director: James McTeigue, Writer: J. Michael Straczynski, Cast: Rain, Naomie Harris, Ben Miles, Rick Yune

Facts of interest: Produced by Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski.

The plot: Rain plays a killer ninja who escapes from his clan and becomes a target himself. He also protects a Europol agent who knows too much about the ninjas.

Our thoughts: James McTeigue’s “Ninja Assassin” is one of the most ridiculous action flicks I’ve seen in a long time. Parts of it are indeed moderately entertaining, but all in all, it’s nothing but a brainless, unnecessary big-screen mess filled with terrible dialogue, monotonous action scenes and a story as thin as your admission ticket.
