Fox Reveals Official "Lucifer" Trailer
The Vertigo Comic Goes Live-Action
By Alex Burns
FOX have greenlit a series order for the next would-be hit show "Lucifer". This isn't the Devil as you know him, the show will focus on the version that first appeared in Vertigo Comics Neil Gaiman's "Sandman", where the Lord of Hell abandoned his duties in the fan favourite "Season of Mists" storyline. Lucifer proved popular enough with readers that he sustained his own self-titled series, written by Mike Carey, for 75 issues. We've got the synopsis, story trailer as well as a behind-the-scenes featurette, enjoy!
“Lucifer” stars Tom Ellis (Rush) in the title role as Lucifer, who, bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals. Co-starring alongside Ellis are Lauren German (“Chicago Fire”) as Chloe Dancer, an LAPD homicide detective who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer; Lesley-Ann Brandt (“Spartacus”) as Lucifer’s best friend Maze, a fierce demon who takes the form of a human woman; Nicholas Gonzalez (“Sleepy Hollow”) as Dan, an LAPD homicide detective wary of Lucifer; D.B. Woodside as Amenadiel, an angel sent to L.A. to persuade Lucifer to return to hell; and Rachael Harris as Linda, Lucifer’s therapist.
The talent behind "Lucifer" is pretty impressive, let's hope the show can live up to that quality. Warner Bros. TV, DC Comics and Jerry Bruckheimer Television have teamed up to get the show on Fox. Written by “Californication” creator Tom Kapinos and directed by Len Wiseman. Kapinos and Wiseman will executive produce with Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Ildy Modrovich.
What do you guys make of the show? Be sure to let us know your thoughts and we'll keep you up to date on everything "Lucifer", here at Cape and Cowl.
