While I'm not all that interested in this project, it is an Edgar Allan Poe adaptation. Beyond the break you can check out the new one sheet for Ligeia, which stars Wes Bentley, Kaitlin Doubleday, Mackenzie Rosman, Michael Madsen, Eric Roberts, Christa Campbell, Lydia Hull and Jeff Most. 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...
Oh that looks sweet. I really hope it gets released in theaters and is not a direct-to-dvd movie cause it looks pretty good from the poster and I have read a little bit of the story by Poe and it was good.
Michael Madsen AND Eric Roberts... this is going to be awesome! It already looks like a DTV cover, too.
Yawn. I'll stick to the Vincent Price version, thanks.
This has always been one of my favorite Poe stories, but I can't really see it as a movie. I hope they make it work though, and yeah, the poster looks pretty cool :]
