Lakeith Stanfield and Omar Sy to Star in 'The Book of Clarence' From Director Jeymes Samuel.


LaKeith Stanfield and Omar Sy are set to star in the next film from "The Harder They Fall" filmmaker Jeymes Samuel, a project called "The Book of Clarence".

Plot or even genre details for "The Book of Clarence" are being kept under wraps. However, Samuel will write, direct, produce and also compose for the new film, which will be his third feature following his Jonathan Majors-starring neo-Western from last year and "They Die By Dawn".

James Lassiter, Shawn Carter and Tendo Nagenda will produce the film. This marks the second time all three will collaborate on a Samuel film, with Lassiter and Carter joining Samuel as a producer on The Harder they Fall, while former Netflix exec Nagenda oversaw the production at the streamer.

Omar Sy rocketed to international stardom with his performance in 2011’s French smash The Intouchables, for which he was awarded the César for Best Actor, becoming the first Black actor to do so. He stars in Netflix’s Lupin, one of the streamer’s most-watched non-English-language series, which has been renewed for a third chapter.
