Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ Sequel 'Resurrection' to Begin Production This Spring

Actor, director, producer Mel Gibson will begin production on the sequel of his mega-hit film, The Passion of the Christ, this spring, according to a new report.

Veteran film journalist Jordan Ruimy shared Wednesday that Gibson will begin filming The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection in the next few months.

"Gibson has been hard at work on the screenplay with Braveheart screenwriter Randall Wallace. There have already been six drafts. 'Resurrection' would focus on the twenty-four hours encompassing Jesus' passion and the events that occurred three days between his crucifixion and resurrection," Ruimy explained.

The cast will star Jim Caviezel who will reprise the role of Jesus, Maia Morgenstern as Mary, Christo Jivkov as John, and Francesco De Vito as Peter.

The highly-anticipated sequel has been in the development stages for the last 10 years. In 2016, Gibson told Greg Laurie at a Harvest Crusade that he wanted to take his time in developing the story.

"It's called The Resurrection. Of course, that's a very big subject and it needs to be looked at because we don't want to just do a simple rendering of it you know, read what happened," Gibson explained.

"But in order to read it, experience and explore probably deeper meanings of what it's about, it's going to take some doing and Randall Wallace is up to the task," Gibson continued. "He is also, as well as a brilliant writer, he is a great director. He directed We Were Soldiers and Heaven is for Real and stuff. So, he is a good writer and director."...

..."The evangelical community considers 'The Passion' the biggest movie ever out of Hollywood, and they kept telling us that they think a sequel will be even bigger," he said.

"I always wanted to tell this story," Wallace added. "'The Passion' is the beginning, and there's a lot more story to tell."

The original film made $612 Million on a $30 million budget making it the highest-grossing R-rated film in North America and one of the most successful independent films of all time.

I remember when they took us on a field trip in high school to see The Passion. Weird to take a bunch of 13-14 year olds to an R-rated film, but I guess it's okay when it's a Jesus movie.

yeah no fuck that, Mel Gibson. Just have South Park make fun of you for smearing shit around and twisting your nipples and for anyone like me who gives a fuck about your movies, make Apocalypto 2 because Apocalypto was awesome or Edge of Darkness 2 because you filmed that here and I could be an extra maybe.

I honestly didn't like Passion of the Christ.

it assumes that the audience is familiar with the Jesus character, which is fair because, who doesn't know who Jesus is?

but because of that, it jumped straight to the torture, doing little to characterize Jesus outside of sparse flashbacks, that showed he was a decent guy to those who knew him.

if the movie was about a different, random person, though, you would think - what's the point of all of this? and I usually judge movies on their own merits, so I couldn't get into it.

I've been waiting for this shit for like 20 years. Gonna be badass. Lots of people don't like the first one because it's associated with evangelicals (or because of Gibson). None of that really matters because you're not supposed to approach a topic as grand as Jesus's story from that angle.

Mark my words, this movie is going to be one of the best theater experiences in a very long time.

There was Something that was huge on the Book and Lit board years ago. Aztec by Gary Jennings. I could see him producing that. It's similar as far as timeline and imagery and it has longer form. There are some sequal books that dealt with the years and generations after.

I'm actually very interested in this film. I have never seen the original as it seems extremely intense.

Still, Hell is very rarely covered in the Bible. Sure, there have been various interpretations of Hell in all of its cartoony fiery glory, but I'm interested in how it's portrayed in what will be most likely a distinct version of it that isn't supposed to be "gnarly" in the sense of how we see it in action/horror films.
