With Bruce Campbell already cast, upcoming fantasy film Welcome To Purgatory is upping its quotient of people who make movies more fun simply by showing up. Peter Stomare is the latest recruit, signing on to play fallen angel Lucius.
The story follows three new arrivals in Purgatory who must find their way around the afterlife with the help of St. Paul. Unfortunately for them, the gates separating heaven and hell have been broken, leaving the world of angels and demons in ruins. Soon, our heroes are tasked with putting things right to avert a war between God’s celestial hosts and Satan’s devilish army.
Lucius, as you might expect, is the one aiming to bring about the hellish madness. It shouldn't be too much of a stretch for Stormare, who previously played Lucifer himself in Constantine and who therefore has devilish previous.
Gene Fallaize is preparing to crank the cameras at Pinewood Studios in London, working from a script by Marcus Ako and Tony Cook. The Inbetweeners’ James Buckley is set to star alongside Jillian Murray, Nathan Jones, Jack O’Halloran and Stephen Marcus, while the film itself is targeting a 2015 release date.
