No, my favorite character of all time Lloyd Dobler is not graduating from the 80s anytime soon. Instead, actor John Cusack who portrayed Dobler will be taking on another movie role soon with quite a different personality.

Cusack is set to play Edgar Allen Poe in 'The Raven' with filming beginning as early as October in Budapest, Hungary and Serbia.

'The Raven' will portray a fictional story of Poe teaming up with a detective to locate a serial killer in Baltimore. The 1849 plot will take place during the last five days of Poe's life.
