A scene from the mini-series production of 'East of Byzantium'
East of Byzantium: War Gods & Warrior Saints Epic Documentary
Mini-Series Announced
LOS ANGELESā?"Visual Effects Veteran Roger Kupelian (Lord of the Rings
Trilogy, Flags of Our Fathers), Emmy Nominated Documentary Filmmaker
William Martens, and multiple international award winning producer
Seda Melkoni of Journey Pictures, have teamed up to produce the epic
documentary mini-series "East of Byzantium: War Gods & Warrior Saints."
Inspired by the graphic novel created by Roger Kupelian, forensic and
exacting historical research will guide the telling of this epic true
story. If ever there was a real "Game of Thrones," this is it. The
visually stunning documentary mini-series will explore the little known
but pivotal era in world history spanning Rome's last era of glory,
the birth of Christianity as an organized and state supported religion,
the myriad cultural and religious tides of the time, and the battles
between the ruling empires and houses of nobility that would decide the
fate of the Caucuses, the real Middle Earth, and ultimately the fate of
the Western World. War Gods and Warrior Saints brings heroes, heroines,
barbarian hordes, and epic battles to life in this true telling of
the tug-of-war that profoundly affected the future of humankind.
Privately financed, production is set to begin in June and will be
presented to the networks by early fall 2014. Grammy winner Serj
Tankian (System of a Down) is in talks to compose the score.
