Once the trailer, or sizzle reel is produced we will use that to help us raise the Feature film budget so we can hire actors and a director and produce the Feature Film Jezebel the Movie. (Possible series to follow.) Also it will be used to obtain a better distribution deal.
PREMISE: In the tumultuous world of the ancient Middle East, kings brokered peace alliances with the edge of a blunt sword and kept harmony with the finesse of shrewdly executed treaties. Such was the case between two kingdoms: Israel and Phoenicia, as told from the annals of the Bible.
King Ahab ascends to the throne of north Israel, circa 800 BC. A trade agreement and an arranged marriage made the Phoenician princess, Jezebel, his Queen. Jezebel, a woman of intense beauty, cunning manipulation, and sinister deceit, convinces her husband to abandon the worship of Yahweh, in favor of her deity Baal. This gives rise to a great internal struggle for the nation, between those who remain faithful to their religion and those loyal to the Crown.
Jezebel proves herself to be the ruthless power behind the throne, showing no mercy and a willingness to spill the blood of any man who dares defy her authority. This leads to an epic showdown between the malevolent Queen and one brave Jewish prophet, Elijah. The story is a paradigm relating to today and the sanctity of life, and those who want to destroy it, even while in the womb. As it was then when Israel sacrificed to the Baals, so today, the Baals are still receiving the sacrifice of innocent blood!
Roger Winebarger (Five Stones Productions) and Rick Garside (Side by Side films) are the film’s Producers.
The screenplay is written by Brian Godawa, known for the feature “To End All Wars”, with Kiefer Sutherland & Robert Carlile. Brian is a very accomplished author who wrote the novel series, “Noah Primeval.” Brian is one of the top Amazon Best Sellers on Biblical fiction. Among numerous others, Brian just released his latest novel, “The Maccabees.”
