In the "Shakespeare in Love," you forgot the small role of Kit Marlowe (potrayed by charismatic Rupert Everett).

Jim's post got me to thinking:  what is your favorite portrayal of a poet on the big screen.  I actually liked DiCaprio as Rimbaud in *Total Eclipse*.  I didn't see *Sylvia*, but someone told me that Paltrow did a good job with the role.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary… I'm not sure how they got it, but The Huffington Post (via MTV) recently debuted the first photo (or this just a Photoshop?) of John Cusack as  poet Edgar Allen Poe in James McTeigue's The Raven. The dark thriller has been shooting Europe for the last few months and is a period piece about the last five days before Poe's odd death, in which the poet is in pursuit of a serial killer whose murders mirror those in his stories.
