After saddling up for The Harder They Fall, Jeymes Samuel brings LaKeith Stanfield (Get Out, Sorry to Bother You, Atlanta) and Omar Sy (Lupin, Jurassic World Dominion) to his next feature project, The Book of Clarence. Legendary recently snagged the rights to the film directed, written, and composed by Samuel, with James Lassiter, Shawn Carter, and Tendo Nagenda producing. The Book of Clarence isn’t the trio’s first rodeo with Samuel. Lassiter and Carter were producers on The Harder They Fall, while Nageda served as a producer on the rough-and-tumble Western.
Speaking about The Harder They Fall, Stanfield played Cherokee Bill in the movie starring Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz, Jonathan Majors, DeWanda Wise, Edi Gathegi, RJ Cyler, Jacob Howard, Regina King, Danielle Deadwyler, and more. The Harder They Fall received positive reviews from most critics when it moseyed onto Netflix in 2021. The praise made Samuel a talent to watch and kept Hollywood interested in his next effort.
Stanfield recently wrapped the final season of the FX drama series Atlanta, which is streaming now. Stanfield will soon star in and produce the Apple TV+ series The Changling and play Ben Matthias in Disney’s The Haunted Mansion. Meanwhile, Sy played the charismatic thief Asane in Netflix‘s Lupin series and recently reprised his Barry Sembène role for Jurassic World Dominion. Sy will soon appear in Joe Carnahan’s Shadow Force alongside Mark Strong and Kerry Washington. Shadow Force focuses on an estranged couple with a bounty on their heads who go on the run with their son to avoid their former employer and a unit of shadow ops agents.
The plot for The Book of Clarence remains a mystery at this time. We’ll let you know more as soon as new details about the film emerge from the shadows.
