Get to Know new actor Luke Evans in "THE RAVEN"

Rising Welsh actor Luke Evans (“Clash of the Titans,” the upcoming “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”) stars opposite John Cusack in Intrepid Pictures' new stylish, gothic thriller “The Raven.” The film will be shown exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas (Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3 and Trinoma) starting May 23.

In “The Raven,” when a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s darkest works, young Baltimore detective. Emmett Fields (Evans) joins forces with Poe (Cusack) in a quest to get inside the killer’s mind in order to stop him from making every one of Poe’s brutal stories a blood chilling reality. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, which escalates when Poe’s love (Alice Eve) becomes the next target.

Evans talks about “The Raven” in the following interview:
Question: When you’re playing in the world of Edgar Allan Poe, did you feel the need to do a lot of research and learning about the period?
Luke Evans: Well what’s great about when you do something that has an essence of history or factual evidence or anything like that, which this movie does, even though it’s a fictionalized story of the last five days of his life, they are talking about a real person. There is so much information and fantastic biographies out there on Poe, and obviously his work. So I had plenty of reference.
