Scott Cooper, man responsible for the 2009 Crazy Heart movie, seems to be a very busy man these days.
According to the latest reports, his next film will be a project titled The Pale Blue Eye, which he will write and direct for Fox 2000.
The whole thing is still in development, so we have no idea what the possible plot is about, but…
We all know there's a novel with the same name, by Louis Bayard, that follows Edgar Allan Poe's brief time as a cadet at West Point.
Here's a little description: “An intense and gripping novel set during Edgar Allan Poe's brief time as a West Point cadet.
In 1830, retired New York City detective Gus Landor is living a quiet life at his Hudson Valley cottage, tormented by an unspecified personal sorrow, when Superintendent Thayer summons him to West Point to investigate the hanging and subsequent mutilation of a cadet.
Poe aids Landor by serving as an inside source into the closed world of the academy, though Poe's personal involvement with a suspect's sister complicates their work.
But the pair find themselves helpless to prevent further outrages; the removal of the victims' hearts suggests that a satanic cult might be at work.”
Could it be an adaptation of this book?
