They’re going to be threading a fine needle on this one. Not sure if I would enjoy seeing Goggins get kicked in the nards for 2 hours.

Get ready for a LOT more of these biblical adaptations in the coming months/years.

The story of Job has been told before in Hollywood (A Serious Man) but probably speaks to the current American autocratic mood, so could be timely. The story is essentially the biblical equivalent of a dictator sending state police in the middle of the night to kill a man’s family in order to make sure he knows who’s boss.

Lol why.
Job is such a weird biblical book to adapt. It is 2 chapters of Job’s life falling apart, 35 chapters of Job arguing with his friends, then 5 chapters of Job talking to God. From a theological sense it is important, if a little difficult to follow (basically the 35 chapters of arguing are poetic and talk in circles and are not really the characters responding to each other but 5 guys who mean well all kinda missing the mark in different ways) with a clear ending (God is so much bigger than us we will never understand his plans). But from a visual perspective, it is just people sitting in one room having a theological debate for most of the book.
I guess if they ignore most of the book, and focus on the beginning and the end and make up the middle it could be something.

It’s about a married couple “attempting to mount a bold, immersive staging of the Book of Job.”
> Adler’s “Job” will move between timelines — “juxtaposing the ancient wager between God and Satan with the modern-day unraveling of a marriage under pressure,” an early synopsis of the film explains. “As their private lives bleed into their performance, a standoff on set raises an unexpected question: who gets to play God?”
It’s not an adaptation of the Book of Job. It’s a story about a couple that adapts the Book of Job, and their relationship suffers for it.
