Dominic Parcell has reportedly been cast in director Alex Proyas’ film adaptation of “Paradise Lost”.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former Prison Break star has joined the film’s ensemble cast as an agent of Lucifer. Purcell will portray the angel Jerehmeel, who falls in love with Lucifer and is renamed Moloch after becoming his right hand man.
“Paradise Lost” stars Bradley Cooper in the lead role of Lucifer, opposite Casey Afleck, Djimon Hounsou, Benjamin Walker, and Camilla Belle.
The film version of “Paradise Lost” will reportedly be an action epic that follows the War in Heaven, in which archangel Michael battles his traitorous brother Lucifer. Early speculation is that there will be aerial angel battles galore and that yes, the film could possibly be shot in 3D.
The film’s script has been worked on by a handful of writers; Byron Willinger, Philip de Blasi and Stuart Hazeldine all worked on the primary drafts, which were then polished and revised by the likes of Lawrence Kasdan and most recently Ryan Condal. Interestingly enough, out of the bunch only Kasdan has an extensive screenwriting resume, having worked on such classics as “Empire Strikes Back”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Body Heat”.
“Paradise Lost” is expected to be released in cinemas in 2013.
