Nicolas Cage and FKA Twigs (The Crow) are set to star in a new horror film inspired by Jesus titled The Carpenter’s Son.
This is going to be an interesting film as it will explore “the rarely told story of the childhood of Jesus with a horror take.” The synopsis for the movie reads: “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.”
The movie is being helmed by director Lofty Nathan (Harka), who has “taken inspiration from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas for the screenplay. Dating back to the 2nd Century AD, the text recounts the childhood of Jesus.”
Nicolas Cage is playing the Carpenter, FKA Twigs the Mother, and Noah Jupe will take on the role of the Boy. The movie also stars Souheila Yacoub.
This is sure to be another crazy movie for Cage to star in!
