Director Stuart Gordon has worked with actor Jeffrey Combs since his first feature film, Re-Animator, in 1985. Since then, they have worked on nearly a dozen projects, many of them adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe stories. Their newest collaboration isn’t all that new: Nevermore. Based on the personal letters and journals of Poe, “Nevermore” started as a one-man stage play, directed by Gordon and starring Combs as Poe. Three years later, the pair want to turn the play into a film. We spoke with Stuart Gordon about his plans for the film adaptation.
First tell us a little bit about “Nevermore” and how you started with the play?
In 2007 Jeffrey Combs played Poe for the first time in “The Black Cat,” an episode of the Masters of Horror series on Showtime. He was so amazing that we decided to create “Nevermore,” a one-man stage show for the bicentennial of Poe’s birth.

Ps. If you enjoy the Miles Fisher clip, check out his homage to American Psycho here - he really is a dead ringer for Christian Bale!
5. Strange goings on in Germany
This guy seriously needs his head looking at. Honestly, this is pure senselessness, recklessness and reveals a disregard for his life. But damn, is it funny!
Some young men in an Rv, presumably on a road trip through Europe, stumble across a scantily clad fellow speeding along the road on a beer scooter.
