Clarence (Stanfield) is a small time “herb” dealer in Jerusalem in 33 AD, during the time of the adult Jesus. Frustrated at his status in life and owing money, he recruits his best friend Elijah (RJ Tyler) and former slave Barabbas (Omar Sy) to become part of a scheme to create their own following, with Clarence as a messiah. To make this work, he seeks advice from Jesus’ mother Mary (Alfre Woodard), gets baptized by the famous John (David Oyelowo) and seeks the approval of the woman he wants to woo (Anna Diop). What could go wrong?

“The Book of Clarence” is in theaters on January 12th. Featuring LaKeith Stanfield, RJ Tyler, Omar Sy, David Oyelowo and Anna Diop. Written and directed by Jeymes Samuels. Rated “PG-13”
