Directed by Jeymes Samuel, the biblically-themed movie boasts an impressive cast, including LaKeith Stanfield, RJ Cyler, Omar Sy, Anna Diop, David Oyelowo, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb McLaughlin, James McAvoy, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Notably, Jay-Z’s involvement extends beyond promotion as he is credited as a producer alongside Jeymes Samuel, James Lassiter, and Tendo Nagenda.

This isn’t the first time Jay-Z has used Instagram to boost a Samuel-led film. He initially joined the platform in November 2021 to amplify awareness for “The Harder They Fall,” another movie helmed by Samuel. In addition to his role as a producer, Jay-Z contributed to the film’s soundtrack, further showcasing his multi-faceted talents.

“The Harder They Fall” reaped numerous awards, including Outstanding Motion Picture at the 53rd NAACP Image Awards. Jeymes Samuel also earned recognition for his directorial prowess, with accolades such as Best Director from the African-American Film Critics Association and Outstanding Director from the Black Reel Awards.

Jay-Z’s strategic use of social media underscores his commitment to supporting and promoting impactful cinematic endeavors, ensuring that audiences remain eager to experience his creative ventures on the big screen.
