Quoth The Stallone: Viggomore
Â
Sylvester Stallone does Edgar Allen Poe? Apparently, it’s going to happen. After he is finished with Rambo MXVIII, Sly has plans to make a movie about Poe, and guess who he wants to play the lead?
Our source says, “Stallone has recently met with Viggo Mortensen and has offered him the role of Edgar Allan Poe in the film. Mortensen is consdiering the role although he wants some slight revisions in the script.†Yep, Viggo Mortensen could end up doing drugs and quothing the Raven for Sly. How cool is that notion? [...]
UPDATE! We’ve been able to get a little more information from our source this morning, and a lot of what he’s saying checks out. This is starting to look credible. Additionally, our source has also told us that if Viggo doesn’t take the part, Clifton Collins Jr. (recently cast in Star Trek) and John Hawkes are being considered as backup options for the role.
Well, now. I’m incredibly picky about my movies, and even pickier about who I like. But since Viggo comes highly recommended by none other than our illustrious D, and since Poe has long been a favorite of mine, and since I’d rather watch historical dramas than typical Hollywood twaddle, this could be something I’d actually go see.
When I heard “Stallone”, and “Poe” together, however, I had a sinking feeling that Sly hisownself was going to play the part of the tortured poet. “Ay, yo, is ALL dat we see er seem, budda dreem widin a dreem? ANNABELLE!!!”

Good to see you are coming around to my way of thinking. Chris Noth, Viggo Mortenson, all we need next is some JT and we are all good!
