The Third Film of Matthew A. Peters

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Utica, where we lay our scene,
An Italian grudge calls for unity,
With the proposal of marriage unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers fight for life;
But to his brother she is now bethro'ed,
and with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the struggle between dons of the realm,
Which, but unhappy death, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' showing of our film;

The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

From writer-director Matthew A. Peters, and Mad Angel films, comes Star-Cross'd.  Star-Cross'd is a modern love story that is old in nature.  It's a tale of two lovers who have made a promise to meet again, defy fate, and change the stars to be together.  Destiny though, has different plans.  Gwen is a young school girl out to meet her true love, which she finds in Aiden, an assassin trying to escape his brothers shadow. Their families are at war to gain control over each others territory in a bitter mob rivalry.  A plan of unification, put forth by Marcus, Aiden's brother, will enable him to become crime lord supreme and merge the two families.  His proposal is marriage to the rival boss's daughter Gwen. Aiden is sent in to her high school to keep an eye on her. But when they meet, memories of a past life return and their love grows. What will happen when the deal falls through and Aiden has to kill the girl he loves? Will they find away to defy fate, change destiny and move the stars? Or will fate find away to rip them apart again?
