The sequel to “The Passion of the Christ” is set to begin filming this spring and will depict the days immediately following Christ’s crucifixion.
World of Reel reported that actor, director and producer Mel Gibson is expected to begin production on the highly anticipated sequel “Resurrection” in the next few months.
“Gibson has been hard at work on the screenplay with ‘Braveheart’ screenwriter Randall Wallace,” World of Reel added. “There have already been six drafts.”
Unlike “Passion,” which focused on the graphic crucifixion of Jesus Christ, “Resurrection” is expected to explore the three days between His death and resurrection.
“‘Resurrection’ would focus on the twenty-four hours encompassing Jesus’ passion and the events that occurred three days between his crucifixion and resurrection,” World of Reel added.
Jim Caviezel will reprise his role of Jesus, and Maia Morgenstern as Mary, Christo Jivkov as John, and Francesco De Vito as Peter.
As The Christian Post previously reported, Gibson, who spoke at Pastor Greg Laurie’s Harvest Crusade in 2016, said he has been working on the project for several years.
Then, in 2020, Caviezel shared details about the second installment of the blockbuster hit, telling Breitbart News that he had received a new draft of “Resurrection.”
“Mel Gibson just sent me the third picture, the third draft. It’s coming,” he told Breitbart News Daily at the time.
“It’s called ‘The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection.’ It’s going to be the biggest film in world history,” he declared.
