Must See Trailer for 'The Carpenter's Son' Jesus Story with Nicolas Cage

"Who are you? You know who I am..." Magnolia Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for an intriguing experimental genre creation called The Carpenter's Son, described as sort of a horror take on the story of Jesus. Yes, for real. It's from the same director behind the other visionary films 12 O'Clock Boys and Harka. The film is based on the apocryphal gospel, the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. A remote village in Roman-era Egypt explodes into spiritual warfare when a carpenter & his son Jesus are targeted by supernatural forces. A boy, known as "The Boy", is driven to doubt by another mysterious child and rebels against his guardian, revealing inherent powers and a fate beyond his comprehension. As he exercises his own power, the Boy and his family become the target of horrors, natural & divine. The film stars Nicolas Cage as The Carpenter, FKA Twigs as The Mother, Noah Jupe as The Boy, with Souheila Yacoub and Isla Johnston. Set for release in theaters this November. Director Lotfy Nathan, drawing from his Coptic Christian background, delivers a meticulously crafted, genre-bending supernatural thriller packed with unshakeable images. Gotta say I'm certainly curious about this, looks like a unique take on the classic biblical tale. What do you think? // Continue Reading ›
