We chat with ThePaleBlueEye star Harry Melling about bringing a young Edgar Allan Poe to life in Scott Cooper’s historical fiction murder mystery, working with Christian Bale, and more:
Christian Bale and horror author Edgar Allan Poe team up to hunt down a killer in the trailer for Netflix's The Pale Blue Eye. The film is based on the 2006 Louis Bayard novel of the same name, the title of which is taken from Poe's famous short story "The Tell-Tale Heart." It was adapted and directed by Scott Cooper, who most recently directed the folklore horror film Antlers. Previously, he has helmed projects including 2017's Hostiles and 2015's Black Mass.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The film follows a retired detective named Augustus Landor . In 1830. He is tasked with looking into an important case involving a series of murders at the West Point military academy in New York. Over the course of his investigation, he will befriend and work with a young student at the Academy, Edgar Allan Poe himself .Today, Netflix shared the first official trailer for The Pale Blue Eye.
How Much is The Pale Blue Eye Based on Edgar Allan Poe's Real Life? The Pale Blue Eye obviously takes many cues from Poe's later work to bring its story to life, including a victim's heart being removed just like in "The Tell-Tale Heart.
It is true that Poe was a cadet at West Point through July 1830, at which point he had already published two books, to little fanfare . The Pale Blue Eye otherwise presents a fictionalized account of what he might have gone through at that time. Considering how this story is meant to serve as an inspiration for his later harrowing tales, it will most likely be a gruesome and macabre mystery through and through.
