Controversial Nicolas Cage movie about Jesus is blasted by outraged Christians

[Michie]

Nicolas Cage's upcoming controversial biblical horror film about Jesus' childhood has been blasted by Christians and labeled as 'blasphemous.'

Earlier this week on Wednesday, the first official trailer for The Carpenter's Son was dropped to mixed reception- and showed the 61-year-old actor taking on the role of Joseph.

The unconventional retelling of the biblical story - which will be released in theaters on November 14 - is based on the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas according to writer and director Lofty Nathan.

Since the film's initial announcement, some have slammed the project on social media while one accused Hollywood of turning 'scripture into horror.'

On Google Reviews, the movie currently holds a 1.3/5 rating - over a month before it premieres in theaters.

'I will not see this movie,' one penned on Google. 'A horror movie about Jesus is just not right.

I usually don't watch movies about Jesus because too many liberties are taken by Hollywood.

I saw the trailer for it and it's such a disturbing piece of garbage, I won't post it.

Family hiding in Roman Egypt. Son known as 'the Boy' doubts guardian 'the Carpenter', rebelling with mysterious powers. As he uses abilities, they face natural and divine horrors.

The names of the characters are "The Carpenter" (Joseph presumably), "The Woman" (Mary presumably), "The Boy" (Jesus presumably), "The Stranger" (Satan presumably).

It's sad that Nicholas Cage would be involved in this. These days it seems like he just says yes to anything he is offered

I think he was raised Catholic, but is not practicing. IIRC
