Camilla Belle, last seen in the hilarious Lionsgate culture-clash comedy From Prada to Nada, has been offered the role of Eve in Legendary Pictures’ big-screen ode to John Milton’s epic poem “Paradise Lost.” While negotiations are still in progress, Deadline reports the deal is nearly sealed.
Diego Boneta (“90210”) is said to be circling the role of Adam. If signed, Belle and Boneta will join a cast that includes Bradley Cooper as Lucifer, Benjamin Walker as archangel Michael, Casey Affleck as archangel Gabriel, and Djimon Hounsou as Abdiel, the angel of death.
“Paradise Lost,” written by 17th century English poet John Milton, follows Lucifer’s banishment from Heaven, his three-day battle with God’s archangels, and his role in the fall of Adam and Eve (or so says the guy I cheated off in British Lit back in college. I got a C+).
Genre fans may recognize Belle from her starring roles in Screen Gems’ remake of When a Stranger Calls, Legendary’s Roland Emmerich-directed epic 10,000 B.C. and the little seen—but awesome—psych-thriller The Quiet (opposite Elisha Cuthbert). The 24-year-old stunner can also be seen in Spielberg’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Summit’s sci-fi actioner Push.
