There is NOT just a movie in the works, but a trilogy that separates each of the main parts in The Divine Comedy - Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, into three movies. However, for the time being, we'll concentrate on the first movie, Inferno.
The Divine Comedy - Inferno movie, begins by depicting Dante's life with Beatrice and their all-encompassing love for one another. Afterwards, it moves on to Dante's journey through the afterlife.

Hell is divided into three main parts: that outside the river Acheron, where the souls of those who through weakness did neither good nor evil reside; that between Acheron and the walls of the City of Dis, where those who have sinned by all kinds of fleshy lust are punished; and lastly the city of Dis itself, within which are those who have sinned despite God or their neighbors, this group being devided into those who have committed sins of violence and those who have committed sins of fraud. There is also, just within Acheron, a limbus or border, where those souls who have died without the knowledge of God reside, and those souls are not punished, but abide without hope. At the lowest point of Hell, and at the corner of the Earth, is Lucifer. See illustration and click on it to enlarge it.

The plan for this series of movies is to involve the best director, actors and actresses of Hollywood, as well as the best professionals. The director will be Italian born or Italian descent, simply because this is a work of passion and it is only appropriate that a person who grew up living and breathing The Divine Comedy and learned about it in school can undertake this important task.

    I notice Falsifiers go to the furthest southern region of Nether Hell.

    Perhaps George W. Bush might get a ringside seat?

      There is a place for all politicians. It's in neither hell nor heaven. It is a place in between where everything is grey, all lines are blurred, everything is constantly changing and no one tells you the truth.
