A live, avatar-based performance of Milton's Paradise Lost will debut Spring next year -- read about it here. Better yet, watch the impressive teaser trailer now:
Possible NSFW warning: Contains artfully nude lost souls. Love the use of light and shadow, and the art direction is great.

Looks interesting, but small question...
Why do they say it is done to Mozart’s Requiem, but the song in the trailer has nothing to do with Mozart?
The song playing is Requiem for a Dream by Clint Mansell, or a slight remix of it as the original don't have the horrible bass that is heard in this.

Thanks for sharing this Hamlet - we're excited about the great responses we're getting to that video so far and are really keen to build out the rest of the production in time for Spring!
