LaKeith Stanfield Wants to Be Like Jesus in Trailer for the Biblical-Era Epic THE BOOK OF CLARENCE
A trailer has been released for LaKeith Stanfield’s upcoming film project The Book of Clarance, which is a Biblical-era epic that was written and directed by The Harder They Fall filmmaker Jeymes Samuel. This definitely looks like an interesting and unique film as the story centers on a man named Clarence (Stanfield) who embarks on a journey to be like Jesus.
The film is described as a “bold new take on the timeless Biblical-era epic.” In the movie, “Streetwise but down-on-his-luck, Clarence is struggling to find a better life for his family, while fighting to free himself of debt. Captivated by the power and glory of the rising Messiah and His apostles, he risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life, and ultimately discovers that the redemptive power of belief may be his only way out. The film features new music by Jeymes Samuel, JAY-Z, and more.”
Joining Stanfield in the film are RJ Cyler, Omar Sy, Anna Diop, David Oyelowo, Micheal Ward, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb McLaughlin, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James McAvoy, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
The Book of Clarence is set to be released in theaters on January 12, 2024.
