The
film,
which
is
director
Jeymes
Samuel’s
take
on
the
Hollywood
Biblical
epic,
stars
Stanfield
as
Clarence
—
a
young
Black
man,
struggling
to
make
it
in
Jerusalem.
He’s
down
bad,
no
money
to
his
name,
indebted
to
the
brother
of
the
woman
he
loves
but
isn’t
worthy
to
be
with.
His
twin
is
a
disciple
of
Jesus,
who
is
performing
miracles
left
and
right
and
has
the
people
in
awe.
Clarence
forges
a
plan
with
his
friend
Elijah
to
become
a
kind
of
Messiah
himself,
and
after
faking
a
few
miracles
and
performing
some
actual
good
deeds,
he
slowly
finds
his
way
to
betterment
—
until
Pontius
Pilate,
portrayed
by
James
McAvoy,
intervenes.
You
might
have
an
idea
of
how
it
all
ends…
In
the
clip
below,
McAvoy
opens
up
about
his
admiration
for
Stanfield.
It’s
wonderful
to
watch.
Check

We
really
love
how
James
sings
LaKeith
Stanfield’s
praises.
We
definitely
agree
with
his
sentiments
about
how
captivating
Stanfield’s
work
is.
The
Book
Of
Clarence
is
in
theaters
January
12,
2024.
Are
you
excited
to
see
it?
