Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard and Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Walton Goggins star in Job, an exciting adaptation of the Biblical book of Job.
The film, written and directed by Yuval Adler, stars Goggins (The White Lotus, Fallout) and Cotillard (La Vie En Rose, The Morning Show) as a couple attempting a bold, immersive rendition of the Book of Job. The Bible story centers around a man named Job. His faith in God is tested by extreme suffering and he loses his wealth, children, and health, but ultimately remains faithful.
Adler’s “Job” moves between timelines, “paralleling an ancient gamble between God and the Devil with a modern marriage unraveling under pressure,” an early synopsis for the film explains. “As their personal lives influence their performances, conflicts on set raise unexpected questions: Who will play God?”
Regarding Cotillard and Goggins’ involvement in the project, Adler said, “We want this film to feel both timeless and urgent, like the Book of Job itself. Together, Marion and Walton will elevate this story beyond anything I could have imagined on the page.”
Adler’s feature debut, the acclaimed 2013 film Bethlehem, won the top prize in the Venice Days category at the Venice Film Festival and was Israel’s entry for the 2014 Academy Awards. The filmmaker has since directed the 2019 thriller The Operative, starring Diane Kruger. 2020 drama “The Secrets We Keep” starring Noomi Rapace. And in 2023, the action thriller “Sympathy for the Devil” starring Nicolas Cage and Joel Kinnaman is scheduled for release.
“Job” will be produced by Dan Kagan (“Longlegs”) and Elijah Stewart (“Petrov’s Flu”). Executive producers are Liz Segal, Sean Patrick O’Reilly, Elena Silenok, Elvira Patterson, Vadim Degtyarev, Sergei Torchilin, Pavel Burian, Alexandre Fomin, and Stuart Manasil.
Mr. Cotillard is repped by CAA and Adequat. Goggins is managed by Darris Hatch Management and CAA. Adler is repped by Novo Entertainment. CAA Media Finance represents the film’s distribution rights.
