Caleb Landry Jones Reunites With Peter Brunner and Luc Besson on Passion Project ‘Down the Arm of God’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Directed by Peter Brenner and produced by Luc Besson, the film is set and shot within the homeless community of Texas
Palme d’Or-winning actor Caleb Landry Jones has reunited with both Luc Besson, his director on the 2023 action thriller “DogMan” and the upcoming “Dracula: A Love Tale,” and Peter Brunner, who directed him in the experimental 2008 drama “To the Night,” on a secret passion project they’ve been working on for several years. The film — which is being formally introduced to the industry by Kinology at the EFM in Berlin — follows a young pastor (Landry Jones) through a harsh winter in a small Texas town, where his mission to help the homeless is faced with resistance by his congregation, exposing deep-seated prejudices and systemic failures. According to the filmmakers, “Down the Arm of God” is rooted in real-life interviews and firsthand accounts of homeless individuals surviving on the streets, a direct collaboration that saw them not simply be used as subjects, but help authentically shape the film with their lived experiences.
