If you thought the first teaser poster for James McTeigue’s forthcoming movie The Raven was eye-catching, just wait until you see this latest one: the striking second teaser pares the design back to just the silhouette of a raven set against a scarlet background, with an ominous line of blood running down to the title and tagline. I don’t know about you but on the basis of this poster alone I’m suddenly rather intrigued by this film.

Set in 1849 and starring John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven follows the famous author as he works alongside a Baltimore detective (played by Luke Evans) to track down a serial killer inspired by his work. It’s an interesting premise, and if the film can live up to the frankly quite stunning design work that’s gone into its promotional materials thus far, we’re in for a treat when it reaches cinemas next year.
