Benedict Cumberbatch transforms into beggar who is mistaken for Jesus and brutally crucified in new film The Book Of Clarence


Benedict Cumberbatch transforms into a beggar who is mistaken for Jesus and brutally crucified in his new film The Book Of Clarence.

The Book Of Clarence follows the down on his luck Jerusalemite who embarks on a misguided attempt to capitalize on the rise of celebrity and influence the Messiah for his own personal gain. After being gifted a never-ending source of coins by Pinnock's Jesus, Cumberbatch's character transforms himself and begins throwing money at people, before being mistaken as a 'messiah' by the Romans and crucified.
