FABIOLA : The Church of the Catacombs
FABIOLA is a 140-minute epic that masterfully blends historical fiction and religious drama to explore why people are willing to suffer and die for their faith.
Following two pagans on a search through the Roman Empire, the film reveals the life-changing power of truth as they each confront the courageous Christians they encounter.
Reminiscent of classics like Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments, FABIOLA offers a powerful story of faith, sacrifice, and virtue—something Christian families have been yearning for in today’s entertainment landscape.
In FABIOLA, Rome—a city with deep ties to Christianity—becomes a place of persecution, where Christians endure sacrifice and constant danger, blamed for society’s ills and facing martyrdom for their unwavering faith.
In FABIOLA, a pagan Roman noblewoman finds herself surrounded by Christians from all walks of life—slaves, soldiers, and schoolboys—whose unwavering faith in the face of torture and death forces her to question her own existence. Influenced by Christians like Syra, Agnes, and Sebastian, she begins to draw closer to the True Faith. However, her journey is disrupted when Fulvius betrays her Christian friends to the tribunal, threatening everything she has come to admire.
FABIOLA will follow a tight three-act structure, ensuring that all characters have complete arcs and no loose ends remain by the end of the film. With the ability to cast experienced actors, we’re also targeting one or two recognizable names, such as David Henrie as Constantine and Joe McClane has already accepted the role of St. Hilarian.
In Act One, we’ll see Fabiola’s comfortable Roman lifestyle while meeting the antagonist, Fulvius, and his evil intentions. By the end of the act, Fulvius discovers that Sebastian and Agnes are Christians and sets his plans in motion.
Act Two escalates with the arrest and martyrdom of six Christians, including Sebastian, Agnes, and Tarcisius, bringing Fabiola closer to conversion while Fulvius is consumed by guilt.
Act Three climaxes in a final confrontation between Fabiola and Fulvius, leaving both transformed by the example of the martyrs.
