The film’s synopsis states: “The Carpenter’s Son tells the dark story of a family hiding out in Roman Egypt. The son, known only as ‘the Boy’, 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, natural and divine.”
The movie is directed by Lotfy Nathan. Julie Viez is producing under the Cinenovo banner with Alex Hughes and Riccardo Maddalosso at Spacemaker and Cage on behalf of Saturn Films. It stars Nicolas Cage as the carpenter, FKA Twigs as the mother, young Noah Jupe as the boy, and Souheila Yacoub in an unknown role.
The story is inspired by the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas which dates to the 2nd century AD and recounts the childhood of Jesus. The author is thought to be Judas Thomas aka “Thomas the Israelite” who wrote these teachings. These teachings are regarded as inauthentic and heretical by Christian Scholars and are not followed in the New Testament.
