In the film, from writer-director Yuval Adler, Goggins (“The White Lotus,” “Fallout”) and Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose,” “The Morning Show”) will play a couple attempting to mount a bold, immersive staging of the Book of Job. The Bible story centers on a man named Job, whose faith in God is tested through extreme suffering — he loses his wealth, children and health — but he ultimately remains faithful.

Together, Marion and Walton will elevate this story beyond anything I could have imagined on the page.” Adler’s debut feature, the critically acclaimed 2013 film “Bethlehem,” won the top prize at the Venice Days section of the Venice Film Festival and was Israel’s entry for the 2014 Academy Awards. Since then, the filmmaker helmed the 2019 thriller “The Operative,” starring Diane Kruger; the 2020 drama “The Secrets We Keep,” led by Noomi Rapace; and the 2023 action-thriller “Sympathy for the Devil” with Nicolas Cage and Joel Kinnaman. “Job” will be produced by Dan Kagan (“Longlegs”) and Ilya Stewart (“Petrov’s Flu”). Executive producers are Liz Siegal, Sean Patrick O’Reilly, Elena Silenok, Elvira Paterson, Vadim Degtyarev, Sergey Torchilin, Pavel Burian, Aleksandr Fomin and Stuart Manashil. Cotillard is represented by CAA and Agence Adequat; Goggins is managed by Darris Hatch Management and CAA; and Adler is represented by Novo Entertainment. CAA Media Finance represents the film’s distribution rights.
