Magnolia Pictures Acquires U.S. Rights to The Carpenter’s Son

Magnolia Pictures has secured the U.S. distribution rights for the highly anticipated film The Carpenter’s Son, featuring the talented Nicolas Cage, just ahead of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

About the Film

This horror film, currently in post-production, is directed by Lotfy Nathan and explores the childhood narrative of Jesus Christ. Cage takes on the role of The Carpenter, while Noah Jupe portrays the Son, and his Honey Boy co-star FKA Twigs plays the Mother.

Theatrical Release and Inspiration

The Carpenter’s Son is set for a theatrical release later this year. Drawing inspiration from the Gospel of Thomas, the film, also penned by Nathan, revolves around a family in hiding in Roman Egypt. The Son, referred to only as ‘the Boy’, grapples with doubt instigated by a mysterious child and ultimately rebels against his guardian, The Carpenter.

Plot Dynamics and Sales Strategy

As the Boy begins to harness his own power, he and his family find themselves facing both natural and supernatural horrors. Sales for The Carpenter’s Son at Cannes are being managed by Goodfellas, Anonymous Content, and WME Independent. In a joint statement, Magnolia Pictures co-CEOs Eamonn Bowles and Dori Begley praised Nathan’s work, stating, “With The Carpenter’s Son, Lotfy Nathan has delivered a genre-bending spectacle that defies expectations at every turn.”

Production Team

The film features producer credits shared by Julie Viez, alongside Alex Hughes, Riccardo Maddalosso, and Cage representing Saturn Films. The executive production team includes David Levine, Nick Shumaker, as well as Noémie Devide, Jennifer Venditti, Nathan, Theo Vieljeux, and Eugene Kotlyarenko.
