ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive Padre Pio clip from the upcoming Shia LaBeouf biographical drama movie. The clip shows LaBeouf’s titular character questioning God and whether or not even the act of questioning is a sin. The film is set to debut in theaters on June 2.
“In this powerful drama directed by acclaimed filmmaker Abel Ferrara, a young priest, Padre Pio (Shia LaBeouf), begins his ministry at a remote Capuchin monastery in Italy’s San Giovanni Rotondo,” reads the movie‘s synopsis. “WWI has ended and Italian soldiers — broken but victorious — are returning to the impoverished village ruled by wealthy landowners. As events surrounding the first free election in Italy threaten to tear the village apart, Padre Pio struggles with his own personal demons, ultimately emerging from his spiritual anguish to become one of Catholicism’s most venerated figures. Check out the newly released trailer here.”
