There she meets and falls in love with Darius, however, all is not as it seems. I loved Renner in The Hurt Locker and only wish him the best in his very promising career.īattleship is set for a May 25th, 2012 release, while no date is known for The Raven. Ravens Deep the story of Madeline leaving a successful career, boyfriend and bright lights of the city to pursue her writing dream in a secluded run-down cottage in Exmoor. While Battleship sounds pretty stupid, it looks like Peter Berg has some big ideas for it so hopefully it turns out better than Hancock. McTeigue’s last two movies, Ninja Assassin and V For Vendetta, have been all style over substance, so it’s unfortunate this is what Renner is doing next. Both films are expected to shoot in the summer, so Renner will be choosing between the two.

He’s also had no fewer than five meetings to star in another project, which he declines to reveal. The news article also says he is in talks with Universal and Peter Berg to play the lead role in Battleship, but has many different projects lined up: It’s about a serial killer loose in 1850s Baltimore.” We don’t know exactly what role Renner will be playing, but it’s probably the lead role of Edgar Allen Poe. The logline would be: an amalgamation of Poe’s stories crossed with Se7en. As McTeigue explains: “It’s basically set in 1850s Baltimore. The Raven follows Poe and the last five days before his death.

Now, Reuters is reporting that the actor is confirmed to star alongside Ewan McGregor in James McTeigue‘s Raven, inspired by Edgar Allen Poe‘s famous poem. Jeremy Renner has had quite a year, nominated for Best Actor with last summer’s The Hurt Locker and this summer he will star in Ben Affleck‘s Gone Baby Gone follow-up, The Town.
