Magnolia Pictures has picked up the U.S. rights to the Nicolas Cage-led movie, The Carpenter’s Son, ahead of the Cannes Film Festival.

The horror pic, now in post-production, is directed by Lotfy Nathan and tells the childhood story of Jesus Christ, with Cage playing The Carpenter, Noah Jupe plays the Son and his Honey Boy co-star FKA Twigs is the Mother.

The Carpenter’s Son has a theatrical release planned for later this year. Inspired by the Gospel of Thomas, the film, also written by Nathan, centers on a family hiding out in Roman Egypt. Known only as ‘the Boy’, the son is driven to doubt by another mysterious child and rebels against his guardian, the Carpenter.

As the Boy exercises his own power, he and his family become the target of natural and divine horrors. Goodfellas, Anonymous Content and WME Independent are handling sales of The Carpenter’s Son in Cannes.
