Sony Pictures has released a brand new trailer for writer-director Jeymes Samuel’s biblical-era epic The Book of Clarence.
Starring LaKeith Stanfield as Clarence, a down-on-his-luck man desperate to find a better life, who inspired by the power of Jesus and his disciples sets out to carve his own path to a divine life and declares himself a new Messiah, we called The Book of Clarence “a singular vision of an age-old sermon filtered through a modern lens” in our ★★★★ review (which you can read here).
Also featuring in this modern testament is the film-stealing Omar Sy, Anna Diop, RJ Cyler, David Oyelowo, Micheal Ward, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb McLaughlin, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James McAvoy, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Check out the trailer below…
From visionary filmmaker Jeymes Samuel, The Book of Clarence is a bold new take on the timeless Hollywood era Biblical epic. Streetwise but struggling, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is trying to find a better life for himself and his family, make himself worthy to the woman he loves, and prove that he’s not a nobody. 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, a journey through which he finds redemption and faith, power and knowledge.
The Book of Clarence is set for release on January 12th 2024.
