If you head on over to the film's official website, you can check out stills, a trailer and much more from Michael Staininger's Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, Ligeia, which stars Wes Bentley, Michael Madsen, Eric Roberts, Sofya Skya, Kaitlin Doubleday and Christa Campbell. Check out the one sheet beyond the break. 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...
I have always been a big fan of the original adaption of this story that stared Vincent Price. I will probably give it a chance if the trailer looks good.
doesn't look good to me,
but hopefully I'll be wrong.
