I would love to see the movie. However, I don't know if the work translates well to a film medium. It's mostly poetry. Beautiful poetry, but characters are limited and somewhat two dimensional. Not that much drama occurs for a two hour movie. None the less I would love to see it. I was only a so-so fan of Paradise Lost until I got an audio book reading of the poem and just fell in love with Milton's use of language.

I just hope they don't cast Brad Pitt as Satan and Orlando Bloom as Adam.

No, she has to be one of the fallen angels so that when she's in hell she can say, "that's hot".

yeah theres a film in production, legendary pictures are creating it, meant to be coming out 2007. Think its more baised on the novel rather than the original poem, which kind of defets the purpose. BUt hay. Just wanted to see if people liked the idea and would consider watching it. whats people opinion on forms of litreture being made into movies in general?
What novel are you talking about? I've never heard of a novel called Paradse Lost. Do you mean it was based on the Book of Genesis?

I found a page on IMDB about it, and an article about it from 2005. According to the article, "Hollywood producers aim to keep the screen version faithful to Milton's 1667 original"; that's pretty ambitious. The people who made Troy were smart enough to call it a movie that was "inspired" by Homer's epics, rather than a screen version that is faithful to the original. I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Hey that's great. I wonder what kind of reviews it got. I would love to see it.

It hasn't come out yet, and based on the paucity of information, I wouldn't be too surprised if it got scrapped.

ah ha and what do you think of the flm and BBC adaptation of Pride and prjudice?
I haven't seen either of those adaptations of P&P. It seems to me that it would be easier to adapt P&P to the screen than Paradise Lost.
