Luke Evans and Alice Eve are in negotiations to star opposite John Cusack in the James McTeigue-directed The Raven, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Evans will play a detective in 1849 Baltimore who partners with Edgar Allan Poe (Cusack) to search for a serial killer who has kidnapped the author’s fiancee (Eve) and has gone on a murder spree that mimics the author’s work.
The movie starts shooting on October 25 in Budapest and Serbia.
