‘The Carpenter’s Son’ – Nicolas Cage and FKA Twigs Starring in Jesus-Based Horror Movie

In news we absolutely did not see coming, Deadline reports today that Nicolas Cage (Arcadian) and FKA Twigs (The Crow) will be leading the cast of The Carpenter’s Son, which is said to be “exploring the rarely told story of the childhood of Jesus with a horror take.”

Noah Jupe and Souheila Yacoub will also be starring in the upcoming film.

Deadline notes in their report this afternoon that the film from director Lofty Nathan (Harka) 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.”

Here’s the official 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.”

Nicolas Cage is playing the Carpenter, FKA Twigs the Mother, and Noah Jupe the Boy.

The project comes from producers Cinenovo and Spacemaker.

... Interesting. Sure, I'll watch this.

I'd feel better if Panos Cosmatos was directing it.

I'm skipping this. If you're going to make a movie about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, make it accurate in terms of what he did on Earth or in terms of what he's currently doing in Heaven.

No thanks, I know it would not be “my cup of tea” without even seeing any clips!

A true miracle.

It's a good job Moviefan2k4 or whatever his name was isn't around for this announcement; the dramas would be ridiculous by now. Looks interesting, I'm willing to give it a go. Passion of the Christ was totally a horror film as I see it.

Give Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter a go. It's good fun.

I'm genuinely looking forward to this

But does it have a prayer at the box-office?
