The Big Picture The Pale Blue Eyeis a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Louis Bayard starring Christian Bale as Augustus Landor and Harry Melling as none other than Edgar Allan Poe himself. The Pale Blue Eye follows Landor as he investigates a string of murders happening to cadets at West Point Academy.
Release Date January 6, 2023 Director Scott Cooper Cast Christian Bale , Harry Melling , Simon McBurney , Timothy Spall Runtime 128 minutes 'The Pale Blue Eye' Makes Direct Reference to "The Premature Burial" During the opening credits of The Pale Blue Eye, an excerpt from Poe's short story "The Premature Burial" is featured on the screen. This particular part of the story talks about the vagueness of the boundaries between life and death.
Aside from the film's title as a clear reference to the short story, the other way "The Tell-Tale Heart" influences The Pale Blue Eye is up for interpretation. Towards the end, the film reveals that the initial murders were not at the hands of Lea Marquis , but rather Landor. Lea merely took advantage of the kills to steal their hearts in the hopes of curing her illness.
"Lenore" Remains Poe's Reference to a Loved One in 'The Pale Blue Eye' In The Pale Blue Eye, Edgar Allan Poe reads part of a poem to Lea in which he describes her but calls her Lenore. While "Lenore" was written in 1831, one year after the events of the film take place, that doesn't take away its influence on The Pale Blue Eye.
