LOS ANGELES: The classic Paradise Lost is soon to be turned into a $100- million movie epic, according to Variety. Written in 1667, the epic poem by John Milton revolves around the fall of man and the battle of good versus evil, the story of Satan, the angel who tries to overthrow God, and the temptation of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from Eden. “This is the war that started all wars, and it will certainly have an epic feel to it,” producer Thomas Tull said. “If you want to get Biblical, when God needed something done, He sent in angels. So if you think about what that epic battle looked like and try to realise visually what it would have looked like, it can potentially be pretty incredible.”
