Shame the aren't higher quality but I'm sure hi res versions will appear online soon ad we will update. Below are some highlights, courtesy of /Film, of the Legendary Pictures panel featuring new info on the movie as well as quotes from Bradley Cooper(Lucifer) and director Alex Proyas..
The epic will cover the major plot points from the poem, including the war of the angels, Lucifer’s fall from grace, and his battle with the archangel Michael.
Cooper revealed that he was a big fan of the source material, having studied it in college. He won the role by “begging” Proyas for the role and submitting an audition tape filmed in his kitchen.
Cooper on the plot: “I relate a lot to this character and this story… To me, it’s a very small story about an intimate nuclear family, two brothers and their father, and what happens when one son feels utterly betrayed.” He also described Lucifer as written in Paradise Lost as “a very sympathetic character.”
Proyas revealed that he tried to be “as faithful as we can” in putting together the film, and that the team even hired a Milton scholar to “keep us in check.”
Proyas also spoke on trying to create the worlds of Heaven, Hell and Eden with current technology: “I guess you try and raise the bar each time, but at the end of the day you just try and do something that works and suits the story.” However, one challenge was “trying to avoid historically what’s been done visually to depict these ideas, and trying to do something unique.”
