Daniel Craig is set to play the devil.
The James Bond star has reportedly signed up for the role of Satan in 'I,
Lucifer' which focuses on the fallen angel's last attempt at redemption.
A source said: "The role really appealed to Daniel, who loves artistic
challenges. He doesn't want to be typecast just as an action hero after the
success of 'Casino Royale'."
Craig will start shooting the £75 million film between his next project 'His
Dark Materials' and his second outing as 007, 'Bond 22'.
The movie is based on a best-selling novel by Glen Duncan, which in turn was
inspired by John Milton's epic 17th century poem 'Paradise Lost'.
The poem tells the story of Lucifer's revenge for being banished to hell for
betraying God.
'I, Lucifer' sees the fallen angel being given one month to redeem himself
by attempting to live as a saintly human.
However, Satan uses his new human body to commit as many sins as he can.
In other news, the hunky star - who showed off his toned physique in a pair of skin-tight blue swimming trunks in Casino Royale - has told producers he would rather impress audiences with his acting skills in his next outing as the suave spy reports NOW UK.
'Daniel was a little uncomfortable at the amount of nudity he had to do,' a source told the Daily Express.
'He appreciated that a lot of it was to win over the female audience but it's not something he wants to make a habit of, no matter how good he looks in his trunks!'
