By Actor/filmmaker Mel Gibson has offered a new update on how his “Passion of the Christ” sequel is going.
The project has seemingly been unable to go into production for several years now with start dates coming and going without any success for several years.
During an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience this week to promote the action thriller “Flight Risk” which he helmed, Gibson confirms that the aim is to now shoot the film “sometime next year” – so filming won’t begin until 2026.
In addition he confirms Jim Caviezel will reprise his role as Jesus and shared the official title whch will be “The Resurrection of Christ”. As for when it will film in 2026, he says:
“I don’t have a start date. I just have to begin pre-production and see what happens. It’s just going to roll in its own time. It’s taking its own time. I thought it was late. It’s taking too long. It’s taking too long. But it’s probably just right. It’s when it’s supposed to be.”
Gibson has previously hinted that the sequel will be less straightforward, more mystical and ‘trippier’ than the 2004 original with Jesus going “into other realms”.
Multiple versions of the script were written by Gibson and screenwriter Randall Wallace with a final screenplay settled on mid-last year which blended elements from the most successful drafts.
