Principal photography is set to begin in January, 2012 on Legendary Pictures massive action feature film production of “Paradise Lost”. Casting for the starring roles is being done in Los Angeles, CA and additional casting for supporting and other smaller roles will take place in Sydney, Australia where shooting will take place. The film’s extras, photo-doubles, and stand-ins for the films stars will all be done in Sydney.
“Paradise Lost” is based on an epic poem by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The poem concerns the Christian story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
The film will be heavy on the special effects with a very large budget. To bring John Milton’s masterpiece to life on the big screen, “Paradise Lost” is in the process of more than 20 weeks of pre-production, then there will be eight weeks of principal photography and motion capture, followed by 72 weeks of post-production and visual effects work.
Child Talent and Foreign Talent must be legally eligible to work in Sydney and Australia.
