Variety report that
The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford and
The Killer Inside Me star (two fantastic movies in case you've not already seen them) is set to join the cast of
Paradise Lost as the angel Gabriel. The movie also stars Bradley Cooper (Lucifer) and Ben Walker (Michael) with Djimon Honsou as Abdie, the angel of death. The movie is described as a "heavenly epic" and will be directed by
The Crow's Alex Proyas.
Paradise Lost, John Milton's epic poem about Lucifer's fall from grace and the corruption of Adam & Eve, is set to be released in the end of 2013. The movie is planned as an action epic focused on the war between Lucifer's forces and the angels led by Michael for control of Paradise, with many aerial battles, and will be filmed using the same motion-capture technology from
Avatar, in addition to being rumored to be filmed in 3D.
