Milton’s Paradise Lost will be coming soon to a theater near you, by way of Alex Proyas (of “The Crow,” “Dark City,” “I, Robot,” etc), though my question is when did Alex Proyas–a very talented director, by the way–take the helm of this project?

That being said, I suspect that as long as he’s allowed to do things the way he thinks that they should done it should be fine, unlike in the case of “I, Robot,” which had a bit of studio interference.

The last I heard this project was being handled by Scott Derrickson (“The Exorcism of Emily Rose”), who’s also talented (though perhaps not yet in the league of Alex Proyas) though I thought that “The Day The Earth Stood Still” was somewhat underwhelming.

Here’s a video where Scott Derrickson mentions the project, albeit somewhat hesitantly, around 4:40 minutes in.
