The director of “The Harder They Fall” Western is behind the camera for this riff on a contemporary of Jesus “inspired” to live a “divine” life, or fake it until he makes it.

LaKeith Stanfield stars, with Benedict Cumberbatch, Alfre Woodard, Omar Sy, James McAvoy, Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Teyana Taylor dressing up the supporting cast in this BCE satire, which opens Jan. 12.
