Although Joaquin Phoenix quit Hollywood to focus on his “rap career”. Word is that Phoenix is set to play Edgar Allan Poe in “The Beautiful Cigar Girl”, so I guess he is not done with Hollywood just yet.
The big screen adaptation of Daniel Stashower’s “The Beautiful Cigar Girl,” which revolves around an eerie re-life experience of Poe just months before his death.
My favorite adaption of Edgar Allen Poe is played by Jeffrey Combs in the “Masters of Horror” TV episode “The Black Cat” and reprise on the stage last year in California in the play “Nevermore”.
