Nicholas Cage’s new horror flick is based on a very famous biblical figure.
The Hollywood actor is set to star opposite FKA Twigs in the new religion-inspired horror movie The Carpenter, which is set to explore Jesus’ childhood in Ancient Rome as supernatural events occur. The film is reportedly inspired by the Gospel of Thomas during events that take place when Jesus was a child.
Cage will play his father while FKA Twigs plays the Mandy star’s wife. It is not yet known whether the family in question will be that of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

This isn’t Cage’s first time dabbling in the horror genre as he has previously starred in The Wicker Man, Pay The Ghost, Colour Out Of Space and 2018’s Mandy, during which he stars as a lumberjack whose girlfriend is killed by a hippy cult.
Twigs has also previously starred in Shia LaBeouf’s Honey Boy, a drama action film about an alcoholic actor who fights the police while under the influence and is sent to rehab. The singer, known for her songs Cellophane, Two Weeks and Water Me, is also set to star in the upcoming remake of The Crow.

Elsewhere in Nicholas Cage news, it was recently announced that his son Weston is reportedly being investigated by police following an alleged physical altercation with his mother Christina Fulton in Los Angeles.
According to reports, Weston has been named as a suspect in a battery report involving Christina. It has been claimed that the pair had a verbal dispute, which then became a physical fight.
Reports have also said that an ambulance was sent to Fulton’s house, but no-one was transported from the location to a hospital.
