ThePaleBlueEye director Scott Cooper tells us all about the evolution of his Edgar Allan Poe origin story:
When one thinks about Edgar Allan Poe, odds are, they’re not picturing a warm and witty young man with a big heart and passion for poetry. But, that’s how the literary iconic is presented in Scott Cooper’s adaptation of Louis Bayard’s The Pale Blue Eye because the film is an Edgar Allan Poe origin story.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY With The Pale Blue Eye playing in select theaters and due out on Netflix on January 6th, I got the chance to have a spoiler-free chat with Cooper about his experience bringing this story to screen. “Writing specifically for actors whom I have cast. I generally write with actors in mind. I wrote Crazy Heart for Jeff Bridges. I wrote Out of the Furnace and Hostiles for Christian. And then once you find your Edgar Allan Poe and you find your Captain Hitchcock and Superintendent Thayer and the rest of the cast, and when Gillian Anderson comes on, you tend to have to tailor them. So the outline was the same. It's all been about characterization.
“I would say Poe changed the most only because we have very entrenched ideas about who Edgar Allan Poe was. And that's from later in life when he died under mysterious circumstances in Baltimore and was prone to alcoholism, and it left us the creator of detectives in horror fiction. But this is about who he was before.
