Speaking to Bleeding Cool, Bradley Cooper - who will play Lucifer in Alex Proyas' upcoming adaptation of the classic epic, Paradise Lost - confirms that filming will start in January, and that they've been working on motion capture tests all week. He also mentioned one scene concerning his character, so a mild spoiler warning on that.



We’ve been doing motion capture tests all of this week. It’s full on, the deals are done. We’re testing out different rigs. We did this one scene where Lucifer lands and talks to the minions. Alex Proyas is wonderful… it’s exciting. We start shooting in January. I can’t wait. It’s been such a long time… I remember on the A-Team tour we were here and met Ralph Fiennes. We were talking and he said “Want do you want to do?” and I said “There’s this project, Paradise Lost, and all I want to do is play the devil” and he said to me “You’re going to do it.”

Starring Bradley Cooper, Paradise Lost hits theaters around the latter part of 2013!

I really love the idea of this movie, if its done correctly with the right cast, if should be brilliant. If not, it could be another Legion.

If they do an LOTR vibe mixed with Passion Of The Christ and a bit of Narnia, I think this film would be awesome.
