What Do You Get When You Cross Emu with Satan? First Look at Bradley Cooper as Lucifer

Many of you know by now that Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City) is working on a version of John Milton’s legendary epic poem, Paradise Lost. Most probably know that Bradley Cooper has been cast as the devil in the film, a brash and arrogant Satan that — despite my reservations — is well suited to The Hangover star. While the rest of the cast is unknown, we do have our first image of Cooper as the Mephistopholes. It’s not the one above. Nor is it this one:

As hard as it might be to believe, it’s actually better, and the effects are so good that Cooper — at least in the eyes — has lost all trace of his Emu-ness. Get an eyeful of this:

Those are the kind of eyes that are likely to keep you up at night. That’ll make you piss your bed. And with that aesthetic, Alex Proyas behind the adaptation, and Lucifer front-and-center, I’m thinking we could be looking at one helluva decent cinematic reworking of a epic Christian poem.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to be looking at.

I'd give my left nut to be able to change my eyes from their normal beautiful blue to that so I could instantly intimidate anybody who tried to screw with me.

I almost prefer the Emu mockup on the cut.

Having a giggle fit over the first two images.

The second one reminds me of The Sandman, with white skin and little stars in dark eyes.

Although I did like Lucifer in The Sandman better, with his blonde-haired blue-eyed beauty.

I can't do it because I am in the car heading to the beach, but someone needs to overlay images 1 and 2 to create an image of epic brilliance.

If it hasn't happened by the time I get back, I'll do it.

As someone who loves Milton, especially Paradise Lost, I only have one response to any news in regards to this adaptation: Ugh.

That said, gotta love a good Photoshop job. Cheers!

This could turn out to be really good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

And as someone who really didn't care for the thing, my response is the same.

That emu-devil image is the best thing I've seen on the Internet in a while. Creepiness extreme!
