Viggo Mortensen
It seems like forever ago since we have heard of any new casting updates for Viggo Mortensen, and the latest (unconfirmed) rumor could be a biggie.
While Sylvester Stallone is currently making waves of blood with Rambo, he might have found his title character for an Edgar Allan Poe biopic.
Mortensen is Edgar Allan Poe?
CinemaBlend has been told by a good source that Viggo Mortensen will likely become Edgar Allan Poe in Sly's upcoming project.
Our source says, “Stallone has recently met with Viggo Mortensen and has offered him the role of Edgar Allan Poe in the film. Mortensen is consdiering the role although he wants some slight revisions in the script.” Yep, Viggo Mortensen could end up doing drugs and quothing the Raven for Sly. How cool is that notion?
They've updated the article with more confirmations on the rumor.
UPDATE! We've been able to get a little more information from our source this morning, and a lot of what he's saying checks out. This is starting to look credible. Additionally, our source has also told us that if Viggo doesn't take the part, Clifton Collins Jr. (recently cast in Star Trek) and John Hawkes are being considered as backup options for the role.
Add to Heffee!
