Enter John Milton, poet and author of the 17th century epic "Paradise Lost." Legendary Pictures optioned the 10,000+ line poem for a big screen treatment and now they've found their director: Alex Proyas. The man who gave the world "The Crow," "Dark City" and "I, Robot" (and "Knowing," but let's not talk about that one).
