Stallone isn't the right man for this project. And I would prefer Johnny Depp playing the role of Poe. To me he seems to be the only actor who could do justice to Poe... I also agree with Dan.

That sob put this on a fast track because of MY Poe project. I approached him at an event to talk about our mutual love of Poe. Stallone lied to my face and said he had no interest in Poe anymore and that his project was dead. Three days later the press release came out announcing his Poe project, allegedly with Robert Downey, Jr. and allegedly going into fast production. Based on the summary I've read, Stallone is butchering Poe's life to bits, straying from fact and perpetuating fiction. His treatment of the subject is akin to Rufus Griswold's obituary of EAP.

Would love to see Sly and Viggo milk Oscars out of this one. Viggo makes it a lock that this film would be dark and serious, but not pretentious. Anyone read the script??

Viggo is familiar with dark characters, having played the Devil in Prophecy, the bad guy in Deception/Ruby Cairo, and the really bad Frankie in Sean Penn's Indian Runner LONG before anyone ever thought of Aragorn, Frank Hopkin (Hidalgo), Tom Stall/Joey Cusak (A History of Violence) or Nikolai (Eastern Promises). As an artist/poet/photographer as well as an actor, I think Viggo would be the perfect choice. Viggo has said he likes to work with intelligent directors, and I think Sylvester Stallone would be (perhaps surprisingly) just his cup o tea. Many people don't know that he wrote Rocky as well as starred in it, and the writing behind a great film is what really makes it great. I'm thinking that Mr. Stallone has had his fun capitalizing on his Rocky image (and quite a long run of fun it's been, btw) and now he's ready to use his head again… I'm hoping this comes about!
