A movie is coming for all those who feel Nicolas Cage is God, or close.
Magnolia Pictures has issued the teaser trailer for THE CARPENTER’S SON, which puts a genre spin on Jesus’ childhood and is coming to theaters this fall. Written and directed by Lotfy Nathan, who based the script on the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas, and shot in Greece, it stars Cage along with FKA twigs (THE CROW), Noah Jupe (A QUIET PLACE and A QUIET PLACE PART II) and Isla Johnston. The synopsis: “THE CARPENTER’S SON tells the dark story of a family hiding out in Roman Egypt. The son, known only as ‘the Boy,’ is driven to doubt by another mysterious child and rebels against his guardian, the Carpenter, 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 and divine.”
