Sony Drops Teaser for ‘The Book of Clarence’ Starring LaKeith Stanfield | Watch

*Sony Pictures dropped the teaser trailer for the upcoming biblical feature “The Book of Clarence” starring LaKeith Stanfield.

The project hails from Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall), and follows Stanfield’s title character in “a bold new take on the timeless Biblical-era epic,” per the official synopsis.

“Streetwise but down-on-his-luck Clarence (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 synopsis continues.

“The Book of Clarence” features new music by Samuel and JAY-Z.  Watch the teaser via the YouTube clip above.

Stanfield also stars alongside Omar Sy, Anna Diop, RJ Cyler, David Oyelowo, Micheal Ward, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb McLaughlin, Eric Kofi-Abrefa and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, with James McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch.

The Book of Clarence

“Clarence is a person that doesn’t believe in anything outside of what’s in front of him, what he can see and hear,” Samuel told Vanity Fair in an interview published Monday.

“Clarence has a lot of inside belief—he has a lot of inside confidence. This man is sure he could fly. He reminds me of me growing up, but unlike me, he has no outside faith. I think it’s just a really interesting vantage point to explore living in that particular time and place, where most everyone around him is speaking about the Messiah,” Samuel continued.

He also described Clarence’s journey as one “of self-belief and world discovery.”

“I always wanted to explore the Bible stories, but from the angle of the person that sells Jesus his sandals, the woman or man that owns the hair salon,” the musician and filmmaker explained.

“The Book of Clarence” debuts in theaters on Jan. 12, 2024.
