Is ‘Passion of the Christ: Resurrection’ Shooting in January?

December 12, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

An 11.09.23 article from The Cinemaholic seemed to firmly state that Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ: Resurrection” would begin production in January. Their report went viral and had people convinced that this was indeed fact.

One thing you have to atake into consideration is that The Cinemaholic tend to sometimes take my own scoops and make it their own. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they did here.

Seven days before this article, I had reported that Gibson was eyeing a January start date. That’s been the goal for a few months now. I’ve been tracking Gibson’s ‘Passion’ sequel, and my sources keep telling me that nothing was set in stone. In November, the screenplay was still being worked on.

One key factor that has to be taken into consideration is which screenplay will be used.

Gibson has been hard at work on the script with “Braveheart” screenwriter Randall Wallace since 2016 — there have already been six drafts. I’m told that there are two particular drafts — both very different from each other — that are being taken in consideration as the official shooting script.

So, is a January production happening? Yes, that’s the plan. A shoot in Mexico and Rome, with locations having already been rented out, but we were in this same position earlier in the year, and Gibson, unsatisfied by the script, got cold feet and delayed it further.

Gibson has hinted that the sequel, split into two parts, would be more philosophical and poetic than a linear and straightforward story. In fact, he described it as an “acid trip” with Jesus going “into other realms.” That’s why the plot of this sequel is being dubbed by many as the story of “Jesus’ decent into hell.”

‘Resurrection’ would focus on the twenty-four hours encompassing Jesus’ passion and the events that occurred three days between his crucifixion and resurrection. Jim Caviezel is set to return in the lead role.
