Not yet it seems! Depends what kind of release it's going to be given. If it's going into widespread distribution, my guess is it'll probably go out in October.

After reading the summary of the movie (really reading it) and reading about it- I've decided not to watch it. If I end up watching it then fine but I'll not go out of my way to see it.

for my own curiosity and possibly avoiding an aneurism in the theatre in a few months, could you provide a link or two that brought you to this conclusion?

...i really hate watching a bad movie in the theatre...

I don't know- it just seems so...typical? Setting it up that in the last days of Poe's life that he is in a serial killer plot/investigation based on his poems. It is just senseless to me. I guess I've just read to much of his biography.

I somehow fear the movie turning into some stupid movie that is trying to get cheap thrills by using Poe's name and poems in a movie- if they use the poems at all. Based on the poems leaves lots of room for error and I doubt Poe would have given a damn about such a thing...

Then again, what do I know? An investigation with Poe was the lead trying to solve murders based on his poems seems like a sure way to slaughter everything Poe was about. Maybe after it comes out and people here gives it good reviews I'll change my mind.

Midi I absolutely agree with you 100%. If I go to see this film I'm sure I'm gonna spend the whole movie ponting out errors/inaccuracies/things that annoy me. But I'll probably end up watching it because I'm too curious about it and I'm a masochist..
