Who should play Lucifer? - Movie news - Salon.com: Here is news that's going to make you very happy or very angry: Bradley Cooper is close to being cast as Lucifer in a 3D adaptation of "Paradise Lost." Yes, it's baffling that someone would even consider turning the famous 17th century poem into a multiplex surround sound experience, but hey, I'm not in charge of movies this year. (Michel Bay beat me by one vote.) From Variety:
Alex Proyas’ ("The Crow") adaptation of “Paradise Lost,” long in the works at Legendary, tells the story of the epic war in heaven between archangels Michael and Lucifer, including the latter’s role in Adam and Eve’s fall from grace. Pic will be crafted as an action vehicle that will include aerial warfare, possibly shot in 3D.
