Has Alex Proyas found his 'Paradise Lost'?

Alex Proyas (Knowing, I, Robot, The Crow) is set to direct Legendary Pictures' Paradise Lost, an adaptation of John Milton's 17th-century English poem. The movie is about the epic war in heaven between archangels Michael and Lucifer, and will be developed as an action vehicle that will include aerial warfare, possibly shot in 3D, says Variety.

Legendary's Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce along with Vincent Newman (A Man Apart) through his eponymous banner. Stuart Hazeldine developed the primary draft of the screenplay, which was written by Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi. Lawrence Kasdan and Ryan Condal have both polished the script.

I myself have long been a fan of Proyas' work. Most of it anyways. The Crow. Dark City. Garage Days. That's the Proyas I know and love. Back in our college days Todd took this two week crash course on Milton so he has been subjected to it on a concentrated level that would crush most mere mortals. So any other Proyas or Milton fans chime in and let us know what you think.
