The film, directed by Lotfy Nathan, stars Nicolas Cage, FKA Twigs (as Mary, the mother of Jesus), and Noah Jupe (Jesus).
The feature is inspired by the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas, The Carpenter’s Son, and tells the story from Joseph’s perspective, as he tries to understand Jesus’ powers while helping him fight an evil force.
“May my faith endure. Faith. My only strength to resist evil itself,” says Nicolas Cage at one point in the trailer. The video also shows other moments of Jesus being tempted by Lucifer, played by Isla Johnston.
The film has been criticized by social media users, with some calling the feature “blasphemy.” “That’s Hollywood… They ran out of comic books and fairy tales. Time to give Jesus a horror reboot,” wrote one user on X.
“This is going to be either historic or the craziest fever dream ever put on screen. Either way, I’m watching,” commented another.
