Magnolia Acquires US Rights to ‘The Carpenter’s Son’ Starring Nicolas Cage, FKA Twigs and Noah Jupe

Magnolia Pictures has acquired U.S. rights to “The Carpenter’s Son,” the company announced on Friday.
Directed by Lotfy Nathan (“Harka”), the film is a bold new take on the rarely told story of the childhood of Jesus, with Nicolas Cage starring as ‘The Carpenter,’ FKA Twigs as ‘The Mother’ and Noah Jupe as ‘The Boy.’
The film is currently in post-production, with a theatrical release planned for later this year.
Inspired by the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas, “The Carpenter’s Son” tells the dark story of 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, 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 both natural and divine.
