The Book of Clarence is inspired by vintage Hollywood epics set in biblical periods. It depicts the story of Clarence, a down-on-his-luck Jerusalemite who foolishly attempts to profit off the Messiah’s increasing fame and power for his own gain. He embarks on a trip that takes him on an investigation into the concept of faith and down an unanticipated road of his own. Though the film is set in 29 A.D. during the ministry of Jesus Christ, the movie will reportedly not be a religious project, unlike other biblical epics so Christianity won’t be at the forefront.
The Book of Clarence is an American epic film written and directed by Jeymes Samuel and starring LaKeith Stanfield, Omar Sy, Benedict Cumberbatch, James McAvoy, RJ Cyler, Caleb McLaughlin, Anna Diop, David Oyelowo, Alfre Woodard, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jacobi Howard and Teyana Taylor. The screenplay was written by Jeymes Samuel. The film is scheduled to be theatrically released on January 12, 2024, by Sony Pictures Releasing. It was originally set to be released on September 22, 2023.
