The film stars Scott Haze, James Franco, Jim Parrack and Tim Blake Nelson, and although we don’t get to see much from this 46 second teaser, I’m immediately interested in anything involving McCarthy. Child of God will be premiering at the Venice Film Festival before screening at Tiff in a few weeks. Hit the jump for the teaser and synopsis.
A dispossessed, violent man who’s life is a disastrous attempt to exist outside the social order. Successively deprived of parents and homes and with few other ties, Ballard descends literally and figuratively to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation.
