It looks like the new James Bond is already working hard not to get type casted. Daniel Craig has reportedly signed on to play THE DEVIL in the new adaptation of an “I, Lucifer” movie. I think it sounds pretty decent actually.
The good folks over at CHUD give us this little peak into the project:
The story finds Old Scratch granted an opportunity to live as a mortal for a month in the body of a suicidal writer (named Declan Gunn – anagram alert!). Once he’s sampled drugs and whores (I knew there was a reason I loved the devil, hail Satan), he sets about marketing the film rights to his life, but slowly discovers human annoyances like conscience.
THis sounds interesting to me… although on the outside also sounds a lot like Meet Joe Black… but let’s give it the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
Another interesting casting rumor for the project has Ewan McGregor as the guy Satan takes over. That’s funny… I thought he already did and made him do those Star Wars sequels.
