LaKeith Stanfield tries to get rich by copying Jesus in The Book of Clarence trailer

From visionary filmmaker Jeymes Samuel, THE BOOK OF CLARENCE is a bold new take on the timeless Biblical-era epic. Streetwise but down-on-his-luck, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is struggling to find a better life for his family, while fighting to free himself of debt. Captivated by the power and glory of the rising Messiah and His apostles, he risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life, and ultimately discovers that the redemptive power of belief may be his only way out. The film features new music by Jeymes Samuel, JAY-Z, and more.

The film hits cinemas on 12th January 2024.
