Paradise Lost (2013)

The concept feels fresh, considering all the superheroes, Greek gods, and vampires out there... so that's a big plus.

I guess it's not exactly a "new" theme, given the original was published back in 1667. 🤦

On topic:
I just hope they don't mess it up. 😬

I’m holding out hope for a third installment of that absolute masterpiece Paradise Lost: Child Murders at Robin Hood Hill—though we might be waiting until the cows come home.

edit: And honestly? I can't stand Bradley Cooper either.

Haha, I honestly thought it was connected to that when I first saw the thread—turns out, not at all. Regardless, it's great news. I hadn't even heard of this film before, so I'll definitely give it a watch, but... I mean, come on, 🙂Bradley Cooper
?

I’m not really feeling Bradley Cooper, honestly. He’s just... mid. Has this kind of slimy look about him that reminds me of a young Ralph Fiennes. I just really hope he doesn't pull that same pathetic act he did in Las Vegas.

Benjamin Walker is playing Michael.


Casey Affleck is Gabriel.


Djimon Hounsou is the Angel of Death.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

If they can manage to capture even 60% of the original literary work, we’re looking at a guaranteed masterpiece.
I’ll be the first to admit I don't know much about the director's track record or the technical skill of the crew, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they pull it off.
Look, I’m no film critic, nor am I some die-hard cinephile, but because it’s Paradise Lost, I really hope they succeed. Every single epic adaptation I've seen so far has been a massive disappointment.
