What went wrong in trying to bring 'Paradise Lost' to life as a Bradley Cooper blockbuster?
The John Milton text Paradise Lost was first published back in 1667 and has been reverberating through all of art ever since. A tragic story concerning an array of events rooted in Biblical characters like Satan’s fall from Heaven or Adam and Eve’s banishment from the Garden of Eden, it can't be stressed enough just how influential this project was.
In addition to Cooper noting that his passion for Paradise Lost dated back to his studies at Georgetown, this interview also made it apparent that the film would be told with motion capture technology. Otherworldly angels would be realized not just through live-action actors putting on satin white robes and plucking harps, but rather through rendering them as fully-digital creations.
As the end of 2011 approached, things seemed to be going ship-shape for Paradise Lost. Principal photography was set to begin in January 2012 while further cast members, like Rufus Sewell and Dominic Purcell, were hired in November 2011. And then, just like that, it was all over. In December 2011, as one of the last big movie news bombshells of the year, Legendary Pictures called off the whole enterprise.
For his part, Proyas would later note that he carried over several visual concepts, specifically the idea of rendering Godly beings through entirely digital means, into his 2016 blockbusters Gods of Egypt. He also recalled how, during pre-production of Paradise Lost, he was stunned that he was getting to make such a costly yet unorthodox blockbuster, with those unusual narrative details eventually dooming the project in the eyes of studio executives.
