The film is now slated to shoot entirely in Armenia come early 2019. It\u2019s set to star Paul Sloan (Nation\u2019s Fire, Vigilante Diaries) and Mark Lawson (One Life to Live).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Asko had this to say about the joining the project: <\/strong>&#8220;After speaking with the director John Fallon and hearing the passion and enthusiasm he had for Heretic, I read the script and realized that this is the perfect project for me to once again take back to my home country of Armenia and film it there in its entirety. I&#8217;m excited to help produce this thought provoking and powerful story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Man I&#8217;m happy! When it feel right, it feels right. Asko is a smart and driven Producer, a problem solver and I\u2019m beyond elated to have somebody with his know-how with us. And it should be said that shooting in Armenia is a dream come true for this film. I was floored when I was shown all that the country has to offer in terms of locations. Let me put it this way: we won\u2019t have to build any sets. All that we need is there \u2013 and authentic to boot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Logline:<\/strong> When two Templars are sent home after losing the second Crusade, they are forced to battle a slew of varied enemies, the pity-less elements and their own inner demons while trying to elude a mysterious assassin who is hunting them down.<\/p>\n<p>HERETIC was written by Karim Cheriguene (Horsehead) and yours truly\u00a0 (American Muscle, The Shelter). Marc Natoli of Natoli Productions (The Proposal) is co producing alongside my company Bruise Productions and JoBlo Movie Productions.<\/p>\n<p>You can follow the film via its Official Facebook page:
