Sylvester Stallone will direct Poe, a film he wrote about the life of Edgar Allan Poe. Variety says Nu Image/Millennium Films will finance, produce and distribute the film.
Robert Downey Jr. is Stallone's choice for the leading role. Production is scheduled to begin in Europe this fall.
Considered the granddaddy of the Gothic horror tale, Poe's life is rich with its own eerie details. He suffered from madness, depression and drugs, and was mysteriously found dead in a gutter in 1849.
Stallone previously directed the second, third and fourth \"Rocky\" films, and Staying Alive. His screenplays include the entire \"Rocky\" and \"Rambo\" film franchises.
