Joaquin Phoenix to Play Egdar Allan Poe?
This should actually sound like a question, because for now, we only have a rumor that there is a possibility for Joaquin Phoenix to return on a big screen.
There are several reports saying Phoenix will play Edgar Allan Poe in a film adapted from Daniel Stashower‘s The Beautiful Cigar Girl. Seems like Phoenix’s obscurity is over?
Phoenix would be playing the master of macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, in the literary thriller about the grisly inspiration for Poe’s “The Mystery of Marie Rogers.”
The book tells the story about Mary Rogers, a clerk at a tobacco store frequented by popular writers. She disappeared on October 4, 1838, in New York City, but only a few days later the newspapers announced her return.
It was said she had eloped with a naval officer. Three years later, on July 25, 1841, she disappeared again. Her body was found floating in the Hudson River on July 28 in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Gwyneth Paltrow portrays a confused woman who lives nearby and is involved in an affair with a married man. Vinessa Shaw stars as the daughter of family friends who is considered a nice match for him by his parents.
