After directing the supernatural spiritual thriller THE SHELTER, John Fallon (who is also the founder of this site) will be returning behind the camera early next year to begin shooting his new action/adventure flick HERETIC!
HERETIC is currently in development and is set to star Paul Sloan (I Am Wrath) and Mark Lawson (One Life to Live). The flick will be edited by BATMAN V SUPERMAN's Michael Nouryeh, with Javier Rueda set to DP while the VFX being handled by Eli Dorsey (THE LAST WITCH HUNTER). Karim Cheriguene (HORSEHEAD) co-wrote the script along with Fallon.
John Fallon will be attending this year's Frontières Market in Montreal, Canada with his production company Bruise Productions Inc. to push the project and try to find his missing funding. Today we have the first promo poster to share along with the film's synopsis and a few choice words on the project from Fallon himself. Then make sure to head over to social media and let us know what you think of HERETIC thus far on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
Director/co-writer John Fallon on HERETIC:
The script hits a myriad of notes in one sitting. It’s an action/adventure, a potent drama, an exploration of faith/fanaticism and a mystery all at once. To say it is my passion project would be an understatement. More soon!
HERETIC synopsis:
1149. William and Roland, two Templars, are on their way back home after losing the second Crusade. Both men are dealing with the weight of the war and of having failed God quite differently. Roland is repentant, attempting to correct his wrongs via good deeds and kindness, while William justifies his harshness by claiming that every hardship is a test and part of “God’s will”. As if the increasing divide between the two men wasn’t enough, they also have to face a slew of deadly obstacles on their journey through a civil war-torn England while being chased by a mysterious assassin with an agenda of his own. The sudden presence of Anna, a bewitching woman, on their path eventually brings the palpable tension to a boil.
