"The Book Of Clarence’" Gets Release Date

The release date for Legendary’s biblical-times movie "The Book of Clarence" has been unveiled.

The movie is set to hit theatres on September 22. 

The cast stars LaKeith Stanfield, Omar Sy, RJ Cyler, Benedict Cumberbatch, James McAvoy, Anna Diop, Teyana Taylor, David Oyelowo, Alfre Woodard, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. 

It also includes Caleb McLaughlin, Babs Olusanmokun, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Nicholas Pinnock, Micheal Ward, Chase Dillon, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor.

Inspired by classic Hollywood epics set in biblical times, "The Book of Clarence" tells the tale of Clarence (Stanfield), a down-on-his-luck denizen of Jerusalem embarking on a misguided attempt to capitalize on the rise of celebrity and influence of the Messiah for his gain. 

The journey leads him on an exploration of the idea of faith and to an unexpected path of his own. 

"The Book of Clarence" is directed, written, produced, and composed by Samuel. He is also producing the movie alongside James Lassiter, Tendo Nagenda, and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. Garrett Grant is serving as executive producer.

Already dated for September 22 are Lionsgate’s "The Expendables 4", an untitled DC release from Warner Bros, and Searchlight’s Taika Waititi-directed "Next Goal Wins".
