Paradise Lost

Not much to tell about this upcoming feature film due to the fact that it is still early in its production but from I can tell it is going to an all out war.

Paradise Lost is based off the epic poem by John Milton written back in the 1600’s and like the book it is about the fall of Lucifer and his rebel angels that waged war against god and then were banished to hell. And due the length of the poem no one really knows how much the film will show, or if they are planning a trilogy. But it is known that Adam and Eve will make an appearance.

But besides that small synopsis that was released a few months back not a lot of further information about the story has been released. But the main actors have been.

Staring as

Lucifer is Bradley Cooper (A-team, Limitless)
Jerahmeel will be played by Dominic Purcell (Prison Break, Blade: Trinity)
Michael will be played by Benjamin Walker (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter)
Samael will be played by Rufus Sewell (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter)
Gabriel will be played by Casey Afflect (Gone Baby Gone)

Adam will be played by Diego Boneta (90210, Rock of Ages)
And Eve played by Camilla Belle (When a Stranger Calls, 10,000 BC)

Although this movie has an amazing cast what excites me about it is the director, Alex Proyas. Proyas is known for directing The Crow, Dark City, I, Robot and the Knowing.

And it is said that the movie will have intense action. In an interview with Empire magazine Bradley Cooper stated that they will shoot the entire film in motion capture which was used in Avatar and Rise of the Apes. And he also hints that the film will be about Lucifer going from the Angel of Light to Satan and says that they are changing this image and voice when he gets banned. Also he says they will speak in verse and with an English accent.

To me anything based off the Paradise Lost poem would be epic but that fact that they are shooting with Motion Capture, speaking in verse and having it be extremely violent (hopefully rated R violent) that this will make a great film.

Shooting was to begin this month but got postponed till March to refigure the budget but they are still aiming for a summer 2013 release.

Here is some Concept art released at this past summer’s Comic-Con.
