Exclusive: 8th Gear Entertainment, the Miami and Ecuadorian-based production company founded by James Leon, is launching a new biblical film franchise.
The live-action project, titled Celestials, will be written and produced by Leon. Pic is described as an adaption of “the first story of good versus evil; the genesis of betrayal; and the start of the never-ending invisible spiritual battle.”
Early synopsis reads: In the serene heart of the Heavens, as Lucifer questions the very fabric of angelic existence, a division grows, leading to a celestial war that threatens to tear apart the divine realm, with destinies forever changed. In a realm of celestial brilliance, angels live in harmony. The Morning Star, Lucifer, shines brightest, leading the heavenly choir. But beneath this harmony, Lucifer’s growing doubts about the angelic purpose create ripples of dissent. From hushed conversations to grand debates, he gathers a faction yearning for change.
