This is actually the first I have heard of it. Honestly, I would love to see a Poe movie. He has an absolutely fascinating life story, genius child, dead parents, falls madly in love with his young first cousin. I'm also really curious what Stallone wants to do with it. I'd pay to see it.

Should they make a Poe film? Hell yes. Great biography--it would win a damn Oscar. Should Stallone be invovled? Hell no. I remember there being rumors of Michael Jackson wanting to do a Poe bio-pic. Does anyone else recall that?

Awesome. Poe = GOD They should go on and make the movie cuz Poe is a genius. They should also make more movies from his stories: Murders in the Rue Morge, The Black Cat, etc... Huge production remakes, not like the recent "House of Usher" and put Edward Norton as Poe.

I'm surprised you just found out about this. This has been pretty common knowledge for a while now. I think it's a good idea, as long as they keep it low budget and independent. He needs to produce it himself. If you actually go back and watch Rocky, which is the last time I think he really did something with the passion he has for this, he did a masterful job. Stallone is a lot more than a meathead, and the Rocky sequels overshadow the brilliant, almost artsy feel to the first film. If that would have been the only Rocky, I think the world would look at Sly a whole different way.

Well, if you take a look at Stallone's films after Rocky he didn't exactly go the action star route. Unfortunately most of the movies that he came out in simply weren't that successful, and then came Rambo, which did reignite his career somewhat since his success at that time came mostly from Rocky. Stallone slowly made his way into the action genre, but most of his movies early on were more set on drama than explosions.
