“The King of the Ring meets the Prince of Peace.” While that intro should sell you on the upcoming action/faith/dramaThe Carpenter, here’s some additional details anyway: theactionflickfollows a Viking and expert fighter who becomes the apprentice to a mysterious carpenter. And that Carpenter is none other than Jesus Christ himself. Sold now? We thought so. Not only willThe Carpenterfeature fight sequences and religious philosophy, it will alsoboast a heavy metal soundtrack. If the idea of MMA, Vikings, Jesus, and heavy metal all mixed together doesn’t appeal to you, then maybe you just don’t know what’s important in life.

The Carpenter Promises To Be ‘Unlike’ Any Action Movie Before It
In a statement, co-writer and star Kameron Krebs has revealed that the idea forThe Carpenterwas born many years ago when he built a shed with his father. How wrappingabout carpentry and Jesusled to an action movie set in 29AD Nazareth and featuring a soundtrack that includes Godsmack, Drowning Pool and Motley Crue remains a mystery.
“Almost a decade ago, my dad and I were building a shed when we came up with the idea for the film. We were talking about how much perfection goes into the craft, and we ultimately began discussing what a perfect occupation carpentry was for Jesus. That made us wonder what it would be like to work under his tutelage as an apprentice, and from there, the film was born.”
Nicolas Cage to Star in New Horror Film About a Young Jesus Christ
The Carpenter’s Son will explore the life of a young Jesus Christ and his family as they face horrors both natural and divine.
Director Garrett Batty, meanwhile, simply “fell in love with the premise.” And, really, how can you blame him?
“I fell in love with the premise right away, asking the question so many of us have asked. What was Jesus’ life like in the years leading up to His ministry? We spent a lot of time imagining him during those early adult years before his recorded ministry officially began. It became clear that we should depict Jesus as a caring, good-humored, likable and wise older brother. Add in the action, soundtrack and the Krebs family’s inspired vision, and you have a film unlike anything I’ve ever had the joy of working on.”
The Carpenteris all set to hit theaters on August 16, 2025.
