The Raven, a new gothic thriller starring John Cusack, features the work of Australian cinematographer Danny Ruhlmann ACS.
Sydney-based Ruhlmann, best known for car commercials, began shooting the flick back in November, 2010. The feature, directed by James McTeigue, marks Ruhlmann's first US feature film.
Cusack plays infamous author Edgar Allan Poe. When a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Poe's darkest works, a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) joins forces with Poe 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.
The film also stars Brendan Gleeson (The Guard), and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster). It's currently set for a April release in the US, but a Australian release date has not yet been announced.
