Josh Burdett secured the lead role in newly released ‘Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace’, directed by Ali Zamani. He plays Gabriel, a Gulf War veteran with PTSD and haunted by guilt. A mysterious mentor figure appears to him in the shape of the mercurial Cuba Gooding Jr.’s character, Balthazar. With his guidance, Gabriel realises his true purpose of fighting for God against a growing satanic army. Burdett and Gooding share the screen together with fantastic chemistry.

Josh Burdett is known for his roles in Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated film ‘Loving Vincent’, ‘WarHunt’ and his recurring role in HULU Original ‘Find Me in Paris’. He has just wrapped on TV series ‘Gandhi’(Hansal Mehta) and the film ‘Murder at the Embassy’ (Lionsgate) alongside Mischa Barton.

Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace is an action-adventure fantasy film starring Josh Burdett, Cuba Gooding Jr. (Oscar winner for ‘Jerry Maguire’)Denise Richards and Randy Couture. Other names including Arifin Putra, a huge star from Indonesia, as well as Korrina Rico and Michael Teh are among the principal cast.

Josh said: “This is a great film that combines a lot of action and adventure, but also deeper moments about good versus evil, and about atonement for our pasts. I loved the energy on set during this whole project – I met some really wonderful people. It was an unforgettable experience for me to work with a legend like Cuba, and to get to share the screen with a star like Denise Richards as well.”

The film was shot on location in Georgia and Los Angeles, and was directed by Ali Zamani, an award-winning director and filmmaker whose work includes countless music videos and films such as the first instalment of the Angels Fallen franchise.

Josh added: “If you had said to me 15 years ago that I would be the lead in a film also starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denise Richards, shooting in Hollywood, I don’t know if I would have believed you! The whole experience felt like a realisation of dreams and ambitions that I have held for a long time, since I was a kid. Both Cuba and Denise are so lovely in real life – friendly and kind. They really were a pleasure to work with. I felt so lucky to get to do all Cuba’s scenes with him and to share the screen together. He is a true professional and I got the chance to watch and learn from him on set. I’m so grateful for that, and I’m really grateful to Ali and Zeus Zamani for believing in me to carry the role of Gabriel.”
