13 years ago, actor Rufus Sewell helped Aussie director Alex Proyas make a name for himself with the wonderful Dark City, and now they’re re-teaming for the director’s new movie, an adaptation of Milton’s classic, Paradise Lost, according to Variety.

Sewell is set portray Samael, an angel who ends up on Lucifer’s (Bradley Cooper) side and urges him to start a war in heaven, after they get angry and jealous of God’s love for his new creation, humans. Benjamin Walker, Djimon Hounsou, Casey Affleck, Callan McAuliffe, Diego Boneta, Camilla Belle, and Dominic Purcell will also star.

Production should begin in January on what will be a largely motion-captured film.
