Go Behind-The-Scenes With ‘The Book Of Clarence’ Director Jeymes Samuel
The Harder They Fall filmmaker Jeymes Samuel opened up about his inspiration for tThe Book of Clarence in a statement released alongside the trailer today.
We actually think the trailer is SO much better after watching the behind the scenes shots.
Here’s a synopsis of the film:
The Book of Clarence is a bold new take on the timeless Hollywood era Biblical epic. Streetwise but struggling, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is trying to find a better life for himself and his family, make himself worthy to the woman he loves, and prove that he’s not a nobody. Captivated by the power and glory of the rising Messiah and His apostles, he risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life, a journey through which he finds redemption and faith, power and knowledge.
Watch the trailer below:
We’re so excited for this, there were so many little moments that caught our eye. We loved Teyana Taylor in the opening shot — and what about David Oyelowo’s character baptizing Clarence (Lakeith). Also James McAvoy seems primed to be quite the villain in this one.

Something else to get excited about is the new music that will be coming as a result of this movie. The Book of Clarence Official Soundtrack features new music by Jeymes Samuel, JAY-Z, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi and more to be revealed. The song that’s playing along with the trailer is Samuel’s own, ‘Hallelujah Heaven’ which features Lil Wayne, Buju Banton and Shabba Ranks.
Do you like it? We saw some clueless critics in the comments on YouTube complaining. We love it though.
