FKA Twigs To Star Opposite Nicolas Cage in Horror Film About Jesus' Childhood
‘The Carpenter’s Son’ will begin production this summer.
FKA Twigs is joining the cast of The Carpenter’s Son, Lotfy Nathan’s horror film about the childhood of Jesus.
According to reports, the British artist will play the role of the Mother and will star alongside Nicolas Cage, who will play the Carpenter, Noah Jupe, who will play the Boy and Souheila Yacoub. The movie takes inspiration from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, an apocryphal gospel about Jesus’ childhood that is dated back to the mid-to-late second century.
“The Carpenter’s Son tells the dark story of a family hiding out in Roman Egypt,” the official synopsis reads. “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.”
Production is set to begin this summer. Stay tuned for an official trailer and release date.
