Now I won't have to read the book

From Iwatchstuff, "The Milton classic Paradise Lost, the epic poem about Lucifer, the temptation of Adam and Eve, their expulsion from Eden, and the high school students forced to read it, is apparently in talks to be made into a feature film. In typical Hollywood style, the whole "fall of man" bit is being largely omitted in favor of more on the sweet battle between the armies of Heaven and Hell (seriously).

Currently, Heath Ledger and Daniel Craig are the top choices for Lucifer, though Oprah is now making a run for the title with the extension of her show into 2011 and the discovery of the Oprah Toddler Slave Camps."

I hope when they portray the Devil they skip Milton's whole "better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven" nonsense and have him instead yell "Curse you, God! This isn't over!"
