Black Angel will be shot in an "earthy and authentic style combining high adventure with high drama" and production is slated to begin in September in Morocco, Belgium, Hungary and Scotland. Christian is asking fans to donate to the project via the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo with a target set for $100,000.
Oscar-winner Christian hopes that modern cinema-goers will "experience the intensity of the battles where life or death is the only prize."
"Like the first Star Wars and Alien we are going for absolute reality, engaging the audience in the drama so they feel like they are really there in this ancient world, shot in staggeringly beautiful landscapes, ancient cities and castles," he said.

"With flying demons and sorcerers, princesses and Knights, armies of the undead and an evil god of the underworld, we are filming down and dirty; ultimate realism that audiences hunger for and the world I am passionate to create on film again."
