This year a giant monster has been running roughshod throughout Hollywood stomping productions into the ground, causing general mayhem and breaking the hearts of fans. It’s name … Bloatedicus Budgetasaurus, and this beast just struck again!

According to Deadline, Legendary Pictures has halted plans to begin production early next year in Australia on Paradise Lost, the epic-sized Alex Proyas-directed film about the battle between good and evil that is inspired by the John Milton poem. The film, however, isn’t scrapped; rather, Legendary’s Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, and producer Vincent Newman will continue developing it to rework a budget that had passed the $120 million mark by 10% or 15%.

If the film ever does get off the ground, Bradley Cooper, Benjamin Walker, Djimon Hounsou, Rufus Sewell, Casey Affleck, Callan McAuliffe, Dominic Purcell, Sam Reid, Diego Boneta, and Camilla Belle will star.

Stay tuned.
