GUARDIAN, LONDON - Just when you thought Wacko Jacko couldn't get any weirder, the bizarre superstar has agreed to play Edgar Allan Poe in a new movie and will be coached for the role by Marlon Brando. Gary Pudney, a longtime pal of Michael Jackson, told "Access Hollywood" the self-proclaimed "King of Pop" is moving full speed ahead with a movie about the famed author of "The Raven" and other classic horror tales. The project - called "The Nightmare of Edgar Allan Poe" - is the story of the writer's final days. Jackson wants to star as Poe himself.
