    The Passion of The Christ: Resurrection: What Should Moviegoers Expect?


    The Passion of The Christ: Resurrection: What Should Moviegoers Expect?
    By Lon Strickland

    According to actor Jim Caviezel, we're in store for Mel Gibson's magnum opus with The Passion of The Christ: Resurrection.

    Cinema is unique in its ability to bring together groups of people who may otherwise not commune naturally. When The Passion of The Christ hit theaters in 2004, it was a monumental success, raking in more than six-hundred-and-twenty-three million dollars worldwide. The film was the most well-made and brutal depiction of the crucifixion ever committed to film. It is regarded as the most successful faith-based film of all time for many. It does what any great piece of cinema should do; it moves and makes us think. It challenges audiences to reconcile one of the most iconic images of our culture, a bleeding, tortured man nailed to a cross with a crown of thorns atop his head. The film also inspires the imagination in the realm of miracles, celestial beings, good and evil, and the meaning of loyalty, betrayal, and forgiveness.

    For all these reasons and more, regardless of world view, we anticipate Mel Gibson's next installment with curiosity, fear, love, excitement, pity, and shame; choose your emotion. According to actor Jim Caviezel who read a recent draft of the script, we're in store for Mel Gibson's magnum opus. The Empire Strikes Back of Christianity is apparently a masterpiece and must be seen to be believed.

    While there isn't much known about Gibson's plans for the sequel (other than what the Bible tells us), a release date for an upcoming novel may be evidence of the film's roundabout premiere near June 16, 2023, for a book called The Gospel According to Mel Gibson: Fact, faith and fantasy in The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection. The book is by Helen Bond, a celebrated professor of Christian Origins and the New Testament. While Satan only had a couple of cameos in Passion, it sounds like much of the film will take place in Hell, where we will likely be treated to Gibson's interpretation of eternal suffering. This experience will likely put Clive Barker's Hellraiser 2: Hellbound to shame. Horror hounds will surely flock to the theater for this nightmarish entry, which may shake some of the corny faith-based genre shackles loose, and give us a true cinematic spectacle that will give George Lucas a run for his money....



    ... It's unclear at this point exactly how Gibson plans to bring it all to life, but the film is sure to be a smash hit regardless. We will surely keep our ears to the ground for news of the film's production start date.

    Speaking of Passion of the Christ, I've still never seen that movie. But just the other day I was reading reviews of it and a lot of the heathen pressed that reviewed it panned it due to the violence. One called it a 'snuff film'. Totally ignorant of what Jesus really did for us and how bad it actually was. Gibson actually commented that what Jesus went through was even worse then he showed on the screen.

    I just started watching Jesus of Nazareth again. It's on some app we have on TV. Haven't seen it in decades. It actually came out the same year I was saved and I remember watching it. '77 I think it was.

    Passion Of The Christ: Resurrection - What We Know So Far
    Jim Caviezal as Jesus Christ in The Passion of the Christ
    By Mike Bedard/Updated: Jan. 21, 2022 3:43 pm EDT
    Passion Of The Christ: Resurrection - What We Know So Far

    The Passion of the Christ remains one of the highest-grossing R-rated movies of all time. Similar to other R-rated films that gain mainstream appeal, however, the film wasn't without its controversies. Directed by Mel Gibson and starring Jim Caviezel, it was accused of antisemitism, and even film critic Roger Ebert called it, "the most violent film I have ever seen."

    Despite starring in the lead role of Jesus Christ in a massively-grossing hit film, Jim Caviezel had trouble finding work in the years since The Passion of the Christ. He's made appearances on several TV shows and in several movies over the years, staying prominently in the world of religious entertainment. His filmography includes such religious projects as Paul, Apostle of Christ and Onyx: Kings of the Grail.

    It looks like Caviezel could be returning to his most prominent role, however, as the actor confirmed in a September 2020 interview with Breitbart that a sequel to The Passion of the Christ is, indeed, coming. The sequel will focus on Christ's resurrection. Here's what we know about the upcoming project that Caviezal insists is "going to be the biggest film in world history."


    When will The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection be released?

    In the interview, Caviezel stated that Mel Gibson is currently working on the script. According to the actor, "Mel Gibson just sent me the third picture, the third draft. It's coming."

    So, it's clear Gibson is presently working on the script and is on the third draft. Who knows how many different iterations the script will go through before Gibson is ready to start filming?

    If you go to the IMDb page for The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, a release date of 2022 is stated. Of course, those kinds of vague dates are subject to change, and with the COVID-19 pandemic delaying numerous movie and television productions, it could be a while until filming can resume on anything. Until at least a script is finished, we probably won't have a firmer release date, so keep your eyes peeled for any new developments as they arise.


    Who's in The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection cast?

    Jim Caviezel is expected to reprise his role as Jesus Christ in the sequel (via Droid Journal). Other cast members from the original 2004 film are expected to return, but no official confirmations have been made as of this writing. ...





    ...What's The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection plot?

    As of right now, there's only speculation as to what a sequel to The Passion of the Christ will be about. Considering the subtitle Resurrection, however, we can assume it will follow Jesus' return from the dead three days after his crucifixion.

    The first film sees Jesus Christ being betrayed by Judas during the Last Supper and condemned to death by Pontius Pilate, with much of the proceedings focusing on Jesus' journey as he carries his cross to his final resting place. Jesus is later taken down from the cross and entombed, with the film's ending showing Jesus exiting the tomb.

    It's possible the sequel will show what Jesus did in an otherworldly realm during those three days before he returned from the dead. It's also possible part of the film will focus on the earthly ramifications of the events of Jesus' death and resurrection, and showcase what Jesus' apostles did in the immediate aftermath of his crucifixion. It's all just speculation for the time being, though, until we hear from Mel Gibson himself about what the sequel entails.

    I have yet to see The Passion Of The Christ, either. The sequel sounds intriguing. I'm curious as to how it is done.

    I can't believe that you and Fuego have not seen the Passion. It was good. I remember taking my mom and stepdad to see it at the theater, and my mom saying "It didn't have to be so bloody!"

    Have you watched any of Jim Caviezel's testimonies on what happened during the filming?

    I have no criticism to offer other than not giving a word about the Resurrection.

    It showed Jesus leaving the tomb at the end, didn't it? I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it a second time, but I think that was the last scene, wasn't it?
