Netflix News!
It was announced on Wednesday, June 9 2021 that a new murder mystery is in the works at Netflix and it will feature Edgar Allan Poe! According to Deadline:
“Harry Melling, best known as Dudley from the Harry Potter franchise, is headed from Hogwarts to West Point as is set to play one of the more iconic writers of our time. Sources tell Deadline, Melling is set to play a young Edgar Allan Poe in the Netflix and Scott Cooper murder mystery The Pale Blue Eye. The film is a passion project of Cooper, who has tried making it for more then a decade, and also stars Christian Bale as a veteran detective tasked with solving a series of murders that took place in 1830 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Bale’s detective partners with a detail-oriented young cadet (Melling), who will later become the world famous author the world knows today.”
Not only does this give us a new Harry Potter connection to the world of Poe, but another Batman degree as well with Christian Bale also starring. Bale played Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
**Degrees of Poe: Edgar Allan Poe invented the modern detective. Edgar Allan Poe lived in a house located in what’s now known as the Bronx in New York. His house was turned into a museum which sits on a small plot of land called Poe Park. Bob Kane and Bill Finger, the creators of Batman, would meet in Poe Park to brainstorm new ideas. The setting inspired them, as Poe invented the detective, thus Poe is the reason we have Batman. Batman is considered, in pop culture, to be DC Comics’ “World’s Greatest Detective.”
