MUMBAI: Get ready for a war where heaven and hell collide. Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace, a high‑impact fusion of modern warfare and apocalyptic fantasy, storms onto Lionsgate Play this December 12th. From director Ali Zamani, this action‑fantasy film thrusts you into a world scarred by the Iraq War, where an ex‑soldier’s second chance at life becomes the last line of defense against an army of the dead. This is not just a mission; it is a spiritual battleground fought with bullets, blades, and belief.
The story tracks Gabriel (Josh Burdett), an Iraq War veteran haunted by trauma, who receives a mysterious calling from a higher power and is drawn into a covert mission to stop a fallen angel from raising a demonic army that could wipe out humanity. He assembles his old platoon and joins forces with a legendary cadre known as the Warriors of Peace, whose experience in supernatural combat may be the only thing standing between Earth and annihilation. Among his most enigmatic allies is Balthazar, played by Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr., a powerful celestial figure whose true motives are as intriguing as the war he is trying to prevent.
Speaking about how he came onto the project, Cuba Gooding Jr. said, “It was interesting, because they had completed most of the movie when I came aboard. So the advantage of that was that the directors sent me some of the footage to see these creatures in this world in its actual space and activity. And they were like, we're going to implement your character into this world that we created of demons versus angels. And I was like, that's awesome.“
Talking about his excitement at working with the Directors, Gooding Jr. continued, “The Zamani brothers, as we know, Ali, who's the director, and his brother, who produces Zeus, they come from that visual world of doing commercials and having established themselves in their world. So they knew exactly what they wanted to do. They knew exactly how they wanted it to look. And it was one of those things where you were like, wow, man, if for no other reason, I just want to be in business with these guys so that I know what their next thing is.”
