“Do you not believe your own visions?” Magnolia Pictures has revealed the second trailer for the intriguing experimental film The Carpenter’s Son, described as a dark, mysterious, horror spin on the story of Jesus (here’s the first trailer). From the same director behind the films 12 O’Clock Boys and Harka. This new film is based on the apocryphal gospel, known as 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 only as “The Boy”, is driven to doubt by another mysterious child (clearly it’s Satan in human form) 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. Ready for release in theaters this November if anyone is curious to watch it. Director Lotfy Nathan, inspired by his Coptic Christian background, delivers a meticulously crafted, genre-bending supernatural thriller packed with unshakeable images. It looks crazy! Gotta appreciate the vision. // Continue Reading ›
