Jordan Ruimy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofreel.com\/blog\/2023\/8\/29\/8bj4fejp63vksx8fb1vyj2gbsgori9\">popular entertainment website World of Reel<\/a> reported that \u201cThe Passion of the Christ: Resurrection\u201d would focus on the events between Christ\u2019s crucifixion and resurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Ruimy is the journalist who reported last year that the production on the film was imminent. He wrote, \u201cBack in January, I had heard that Gibson was finally, very close, to shooting \u201cThe Passion of the Christ: Resurrection,\u201d a mid-year shoot had been planned. Now, we\u2019re looking at January. The production date seems set in stone.\u201d Gibson directed the 2004 film, which grossed $611 million worldwide and received three Oscar nominations.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a8cAfeNHET8?si=pVId3YU2M9xKgIgT\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ruimy reported, \u201cGibson has been hard at work on the screenplay with \u201cBraveheart\u201d screenwriter Randall Wallace. There have already been six drafts. Gibson has been shooting \u201cFlight Risk\u201d starring Mark Wahlberg in Las Vegas. The last movie Gibson directed was 2016\u2019s \u201cHacksaw Ridge,\u201d which garnered six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One caveat is the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which shows no signs of stopping soon. Gibson recently commented on the movie. He said, \u201cIt is such a massive undertaking that you can\u2019t do it lightly, and you can\u2019t do it quickly. You have to really consider what it is that you need to show in order to be poignant,\u201d adding that the film wouldn\u2019t be linear.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cYou have to have many things to juxtapose against one another, even from different time periods, in order to illustrate what something means in a more full way. It\u2019s going to be a real jigsaw puzzle to do.\u201d Gibson implied that one of the scripts he examined had scenes in hell and showed the angels falling from heaven. Actor Jim Caviezel, he said, will portray Jesus, as he did in the 2004 film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a new report by a veteran Hollywood reporter, the sequel to Mel Gibson\u2019s blockbuster film \u201cThe Passion of the Christ\u201d will start filming in January 2024.
