This one involves a sentient (indeed deific) storm that is evoked by \u201ca rogue Smithsonian archaeologist, dying of cancer, who will stop at nothing to retrieve the ancient amulets of the storm god Ba\u2019al, which could cure him or make him a god.\u201d (Hollywood Reporter<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Or in the words of CineTelFilms’ website:<\/p>\n

Bizarre storms wrack the U.S. while simultaneously gruesome murders are occurring. Two scientists find a Sumerian statue of the storm god Ba’al and conclude that the storms and murders are somehow related. Can they stop it in time?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note: Answers to the above question should be sent to the producers while the film is still in post-production.<\/p>\n
