January 26, 2011

Between Stuart Gordon's play Nevermore and James McTeigue's The Raven and Francis Ford Coppola's Twixt Now and Sunrise, Edgar Allan Poe is becoming a go-to protagonist for Hollywood.

The author is the subject of a new television pilot recently set up at ABC.

The show, entitled "Poe", is described by Deadline as "a crime procedural following Edgar Allan Poe, the world's very first detective, as he uses unconventional methods to investigate dark mysteries in 1840s Boston."

"Kyle XY's" Chris Hollier penned the script.

TV Updates: "Poe"

"Poe" has been dropped by ABC.

A procedural-type show, this period drama envisions Edgar Allan Poe as a detective on the trail of an elusive serial killer.

ABC chief Paul Lee was said to be a big supporter of the show, but apparently it fell flat in test screenings.
