Well, at least you can't deny that John Cusack is doing what you're supposed to on Twitter. I mean, if announcing your next movie isn't keeping people updating on what you're up to, what is?

Cusack tweeted the following on Friday evening:

officiali- will play edgar allen poe in fall-a-film called the raven, send any poe- gold - my way as i begin this journey into the abyss

The Raven is director James McTeigue's project about a fictionalized version of the last days of Poe's life, wherein he teams up with a detective to stop a killer obsessed with his work; Cusack is the latest actor to be attached to the role, with both Ewan McGregor and Joaquin Phoenix having been linked to it in the past. Previously, Jeremy Renner was believed to be playing the detective, but now that he's signed on to both The Avengers and Mission: Impossible 4, that may no longer be the case.

Now all I need to do is work out what "Poe-gold" is...
