Just call Bradley Cooper Lucifer in 'Paradise Lost'
Oh Bradley Cooper, you handsome devil! The "Hangover" star is in early talks to play Lucifer in an adaptation of John Milton’s epic 17th-century poem “Paradise Lost,” Variety's Marc Graser (@mgrrr) and Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) exclusively report. An official offer has yet to be made, but Cooper is eager to take the part and negotiations are expected to begin shortly. 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.
