When a string of murders takes place across 19th-century Baltimore, detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) realises that the crimes closely resemble the fictional murders published weekly in the local newspaper by struggling writer and social misfit Edgar Allan Poe. Suspecting that the serial killer is using Poe's writings as direct inspiration for his grisly work, Fields approaches the author to ask for his help with snaring the killer. The stakes are soon raised even higher when someone close to Poe comes under threat. Can he draw on his impressive powers of logic and imagination to solve the puzzle before it is too late?

IN AN ADVENTURE WITH SCIENTISTS http://www.zeffirellis.com/cinema/film/the-pirates-in-an-adventure-with-scientists Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals B…lack Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It’s a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they do battle with the pirate-hating Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a young Charles Darwin (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!
