John Cusack

John Cusack’s been shedding his rom-com image, one movie at a time. Most recently, the actor stars in The Raven, a dark crime thriller.

In the movie, Cusack plays author Edgar Allen Poe, who is recruited to help authorities find a murderer who is using his stories to help commit his crimes. Soon, the tables are turned on Poe, and he’s suspected as the killer. If the story isn’t enthralling enough, the trailer will definitely make you want to see this.

It starts with a detective discussing a double murder. A young girl’s body is discovered in a chimney, and her mother’s head was found severed with a single razor.

It’s funny enough as it is that John Cusack actually has a stalker. Just goes to show you, no actor is safe from the crazies!

Well, at least John will be able to rest peacefully tonight, since Emily Leatherman has pleaded no contest to felony stalking today. She avoided jail time by accepting the plea deal, and will now get 5 years probation and immediate psychiatric counseling.

She was also ordered to stay away from Cusack, his home, and business for the next ten years.

As part of MoveOn.org, John Cusack is encouraging citizens to take a hard look at politics in our country. He calls it the Bush-McCain challenge, saying "I bet you can't tell them apart."

He asks questions like, "Who supports keeping our troops in harm's way in Iraq, but not a bi-partisan GI Bill of Rights to support them when they return home?"

Now this is a movie to look forward to! Last night it was the premiere of “Grace Is Gone” starring John Cusack. This film was such a big hit at the Sundance Film Festival 2007 that the Weinstein Co bought it, making it the first film to be purchased. It also won the Audience Award for Best Dramatic Film and the Waldo Salt Screening Award.

The storyline is about a young father whose soldier wife has just been killed while in the line of duty in Iraq. Rather than tell his two daughters the news, he decides to take them on a cross-country road trip to an amusement park. The movie also stars Marisa Tomei, Doug Dearth, Zach Gray, and Alessandro Nivola. Check out the trailer below.
