Wes Bentley, Kaitlin Doubleday, Mackenzie Rosman, Michael Madsen, Eric Roberts, Christa Campbell, Lydia Hull and Jeff Most are all set to topline Michael Staininger's Edgar Allan Poe's Ligeia. Successful writer and scholar Jonathan Merrick falls under the spell of the irresistible, bewitchingly beautiful Ligeia. She's fighting a fatal illness and she will stop at nothing to defeat death, her one true enemy. She steals other people's souls and on her quest to immortality she tricks Jonathan into supporting her work, breaking him apart from his fiancé Rowena and pulling him into her dark, mysterious world. They settle down in an old manor by the Black Sea where Ligeia's everlasting presence slowly drives Jonathan to madness...

Bentley has the tendency to ham it up as eccentric characters, often in awful films (Ghost Rider, P2, Weirdsville) so his being cast in the lead does not give me high hopes for this. The rest of the cast is so-so and the premise (much as is the case with the upcoming "Tell-Tale Heart" movie) is sadly less a remake than a redux of the entire premise. Sounds like that crappy contemporary remake of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' from 2006.
