Book to Film News: Raven Trailer, Upcoming Films: Three Musketeers & Anonymous

The Three Musketeers in Theatres October 21, 2011

It's less than a week away to the release of our August Book to Film Club book selection and I'm very excited as it looks like an exciting & fun film full of action and intrigue and I'm very certain it will be more fun to watch the film than the challenge it was to get through the book! Wow, that was a long one. I'm very happy to see it interpreted on the big screen.

The Raven Trailer

October is a spooky month and it's perfect timing for the debut of the trailer for The Raven, which is a fictionalized period piece/biopic centred on Edgar Allen Poe (played by John Cusack), which drips of gothic with a mystery/suspense spin and a Sherlock Holmes-y feel to it. The film also starts Luke Evans & Alice Eve, is directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin) and will hit theatres March 9, 2012.

Shakespeare fans I'm sure are looking forward to this film set in Elizabethan England and explores the idea of whether or not Shakespeare was the actual writer of all the plays we think he was. Stars Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, Mr. Nobody), Rafe Spall (One Day) and Vanessa Redgrave as Queen Elizabeth I; directed by Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012). It's currently tied for first in the current poll for most anticipated October releases so I know it's going to be one I'll be seeing as well, and happily at that.
