"Rufus Sewell has reportedly joined the cast of Paradise Lost. The Zen actor will reunite with director Alex Proyas, who had previously worked with him in Dark City. He will play Samael, Lucifer&amp;#039;s agent who tells him to begin the rebellion in heaven, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sewell will appear alongside the likes of Bradley Cooper, Benjamin Walker, Casey Affleck and Djimon Hounsou in the film. Paradise Lost focuses on Lucifer (Cooper), who assembles an army against the forces of good after being thrown out of heaven. It is an adaptation of John Milton&amp;#039;s 17th century poem. Proyas recently described the film as &amp;quot;a family saga, about a group of brothers, two in particular, who are on divergent paths, and Lucifer&amp;#039;s feelings of betrayal by his father and family that forge his descent into evil&amp;quot;. Sewell&amp;#039;s BBC One drama series Zen was axed earlier this year, despite respectable audience figures. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
