The Carpenter's Son stars Nicolas Cage as a father whose family hides out in Roman Egypt while his son, known only as The Boy and played by Noah Jupe, grapples with emerging powers and doubt. The film is drawn from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas and portrays an adolescent Jesus whose temper tantrums manifest as violent, supernatural consequences. FKA twigs co-stars as Mother Mary and Lofty Nathan directs. A mood-driven teaser trailer has been released. No official release date has been set, though the film is expected in 2025.
Based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas - which is not official canon, in the original sense of that word - The Carpenter's Son will focus on Jesus' adolescence, as portrayed by Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place). In this apocryphal gospel, Jesus is a pretty normal boy with sweet moods and temper tantrums - although unlike most kids his age, the tantrums arrive with supernatural vengeance.
According to the official description, the movie "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."
