Rufus Sewell is one of the best unknown actors in my opinion. He appears here and there, and yet you probably haven't even noticed him. He played Count Adhemar in A Knight's Tale, the tiny role of Fortinbras in Hamlet, and was a part of the ensemble cast of Paris, Je T'aime. This time, he will be a part of the ever growing cast of Alex Proyas's adaptation of Paradise Lost. For those of you unfamiliar with Proyas, he was the director of The Crow and the fantastic futuristic/noir film Dark City, in which Sewell starred in. Sewell will take on the role of Sammael opposite Bradley Cooper as Lucifer and Benjamin Walker as Michael. The story centers on the battle between the two archangels when the banished Lucifer takes on the forces of Heaven.
The film also stars Casey Affleck as the angel Gabriel, Dijmon Hounsou as the Angel of Death, Camilla Belle as Eve, Sam Reid as Raphael, Callan McAuliffe as Uriel, and Dominic Purcell as Moloch. The film is aiming for a 2013 release. Check out what Jessica Chastain has planned next for her growing movie career after the break.
