Experience the emotional journey of a troubled priest as he battles his inner demons in the biographical drama, Padre Pio Starring Shia LaBeouf, this powerful film is a must-see in theaters now
The story of one of Catholicism's most iconic figures is set to hit the big screen with the release of Padre Pio. Directed by the renowned Abel Ferrara, known for his work on Bad Lieutenant and The Addiction, this biographical drama will take us back to the early days of the eponymous priest's ministry at a remote Capuchin monastery in Italy's San Giovanni Rotondo after World War I. The film captures his efforts to aid Italian soldiers returning to the village. The cast of Padre Pio includes Shia LaBeouf, Marco Leonardi, Salvatore Ruocco, Luca Lionello, and Asia Argento. In anticipation of the film's theatrical release, Screen Rant has exclusively presented a new clip from Padre Pio.
Will Padre Pio Launch Another LaBeouf Resurgence?
In the video above, LaBeouf's character, the priest, is depicted facing his inner demons. He is presented with a list of actions that he feels guilty over, which he strongly denies and prays to the Lord to make the unseen figure stop.
After a two-year hiatus, Shia LaBeouf makes his comeback in the film Padre Pio, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September. Despite receiving critical acclaim for his role in Netflix's Pieces of a Woman, his personal life was marred by the sexual abuse allegations from his ex-girlfriend, FKA Twigs. These allegations caused the streamer to remove LaBeouf from their awards contention campaigns.
Following his acclaimed performances in American Honey and The Peanut Butter Falcon, Shia LaBeouf's career was on the upswing. He even wrote and starred in Honey Boy, a personal film inspired by his own father-son relationship. However, after leaving Don't Worry Darling and going into hiding, LaBeouf embarked on an apology tour in 2022 where he admitted to lying about his childhood to promote Honey Boy. Despite his past controversies, LaBeouf has landed a role in Francis Ford Coppola's sci-fi epic Megalopolis, which wrapped filming earlier this year. But for those rooting for a comeback, Padre Pio could be the film to launch LaBeouf's resurgence in the industry. The religious biopic is now playing in theaters and worth checking out.
