Paradise Lost

Movie news of the day: Peter Chattaway reports that Scott Derrickson is going to direct Paradise Lost.

I'm excited. Unlike most people at TFC, I actually like Milton . . . and while the filming of epic poems is a difficult matter ("it isn't just one of your holiday games"), I'm optimistic about Derrickson's ability to pull it off. Known primarily for The Exorcism of Emily Rose, he's a thoughtful Christian filmmaker who has collaborated with Wim Wenders (2004's Land of Plenty), as well as being published in my favorite literary journal.

I have no idea how he's going to make this work--but I'm eager to find out.
