Biblical Epics: The Book of Clarence and the Genre’s Legacy

Biblical epics are a subgenre of epic cinema that has remained a popular film genre throughout the 20th century and continues to do so even today. These films almost always feature expansive and dramatic imagery to captivate audiences while telling epic stories about the struggle between good and evil. The Ten Commandments (1956) and Ben-Hur (1959), two of this subgenre’s first and most well-known films, are often regarded as cinematic masterpieces due to their rich production values and all-star casts. These movies were among the most well-liked and financially successful ones released during their time period.

Jeymes Samuel, who directed the upcoming Western picture The Harder They Fall in 2020 starring Idris Elba, Regina King, and LaKeith Stanfield, is now seeking to break into this genre with the upcoming film titled The Book of Clarence.
