Such a genre is called nunsploitation. Another noted example is Chrono Crusade. Given that this series has scantily clad women, "Areala" is a very appropriate title.

I'm with you one that, lol. I got to say that trailer was way cooler looking than it had any right to be. But still what a weird random thing to bring back. |

Ah, it`s bit too cheesy looking for me.
Though, good luck on their goal. |

It's called desperation. Hollywood is desperate to find something, anything that is not The Same Old, +same old- sequel-1, +same old sequel-2, +same old etc. At least this isn't an adaptation of a Japanese manga. I thought of Hellsing Ultimate maybe because it had a band of warrior like nuns too. Also I laughed at that trailer because it sort of reminded me of my Catholic school days.

Mohawk: It may not be an anime/manga adaptation, but it's a convenient way to avoid hiring Asian actors.

The fight choreography looks okay. At least the frames last several seconds, showing a few attacks. Many action scenes nowadays just use fast editing instead of carefully crafted choreography. A good example of an exception would be Fury Road.
I hope they take this further and at least plan out their fights more. I mean they already do, but I just hope they don't rely too much on fancy editing. If this 'trailer' is any indication, it's possible. |

Warrior Nun Areala? Ben Dunn? Is this a repost from 1994?

This is not a Hollywood production, sounds more like some independent studios. Especially since this is a kickstarter. It is good that Ben Dunn is supporting it. Loved his version of the comic. When I heard who was doing this and how, was kind of fatalistic as to how good it probably wasn't going to be. This demo reel has shown a glimmer of hope for the production. Hopefully they will get the money they need from kickstarter to do this properly, and fingers are crossed that they actually do a good job.
What does this have to do with Asian actors. It is based off a comic book. |

Looks like a direct-to-video sort of deal. Oh well, my only complaint is that it's not some kind of nun porno.

To me, this looked really well choreographed for a low-budget film. To Hollywood: It is possible to make something interesting and invest so much money on it that it flops.

Ah, Warrior Nun Areola, as we used to call it
Anime has enough of those too. |
