The movie is a fictionalized account of Poe’s mysterious last days–spent, as speculated by some, following a serial killer inspired by his horror stories.

Jeremy Piven says his long time BFF John Cusack is jealous of his newfound success. Jeremy and John both studied at an acting school run by Jeremy’s folks and while John’s career took off when he was young, it wasn’t until recently that Jeremy got his big break as Ari on HBO’s Entourage. For the past few years Jeremy’s been playing second fiddle to John with supporting roles in John’s big movies, “Say Anything,” “Gross Pointe Blank,” and “Runaway Jury”. But Jeremy says now that he is the successful one, John is no where to be found. Or it could be that Jeremy’s ego is too big for John to get in the same room with him.
