Written/directed by Jeymes Samuel, The Book of Clarence is the story of a man named Clarence who risks everything for a better life. His inspiration? the rising Messiah, of course.
Lakeith Stanfield, David Oyelowo, RJ Cyler, James McAvoy, Omar Sy, Afre Woodard, Benedict Cumberbatch and Anna Diop are among the key cast.
So many thoughts going through my head with this one. I’m excited to see Stanfield deliver as he always does. I also can’t wait to see the various aspects of the universal human experience on display for us to collectively recognise, reflect upon and laugh at.
I’m ready for the great soundtrack, especially if the music in this trailer is anything to go by.
Lastly, This fun comedy sketch came to mind as this trailer played. Anyone else?
The Book of Clarence Release Dates: January 12th, 2024 (US)…

The Movie My Life 
I like this. 🤩
Looks like it’s going to be a F.U.N adventure and I’m ready for it. 🥳
Thanks for sharing this
My pleasure, and thanks for stopping by. 😊
Nice use of the Prince song! Looks like it could be good. I’ll have to shake Stanfield out of my head as Judas in another movie before watching it.
Yes, of course, he was Judas in JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH (2021)! 😁
Fingers crossed that this all works out. 🤞🤞
can’t wait to see this
It really does look very promising.
This will be worth watching. I only wish the setting was more modern.
A modern setting would be interesting. However, the biblical times setting will hopefully add a little something special we hadn’t anticipated. I guess we’ll soon find out. 🤓
I suspect that a modern movie that has a similar theme may already exist. I can’t think of what it might be right now but I’ll let you know if something comes to mind.
This does look fun, I’m a fan of The Life of Brian and we need another silly bible film!
Amen to all the silly bible films! 😁🥳
Oh this is going to be good!
It certainly looks that way. 🥳🥂
I love Lakeith Stanfield + David Oyelowo (and Omar Sy too!) but the trailer made me go ‘whoa’… I guess I’ll reserve my judgment until the movie comes out, but it certainly piqued my interest.
‘Whoa’ is certainly not the worst reaction one can have to a trailer. I hear that it’s apparently, not terrible. I haven’t seen it myself but the reactions to it at the BFI London Film Festival last month appear to have been largely positive. I too look forward to judging for myself in January. 🤓🤞
Wow! Really? A Prince soundtrack?? I’m intrigued!
Indeed.🤓 It would be a real treat if the full soundtrack ended up featuring more Prince songs. 🙏
This made me think of that classic comedy on the same topic: “He’s not the Messiah. He’s a very naughty boy! Now, go away!” 😀
I hadn’t heard of ‘He’s Not a Messiah…’ and I already love the title. 😁
Oh sorry, this is a quote from already mentioned The Life of Brian (1979). 😀
No worries. 🤓 I’d still be super happy with such a title. 😁
FYI, the name of my blog was inspired by this Monty Python movie. 😉
That makes perfect sense. I like it. 👍
