From World of Reel:
It seems like things are finally moving forward when it comes to Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ: Resurrection.” The film has had quite a few delays, mostly due to script changes, but it’s now practically ready to shoot. A very early 2025 production star is being eyed on the film, most likely right after Gibson is done doing press for “Flight Risk” in January.
Gibson has hinted that the sequel, potentially split into two films, would be more philosophical and poetic than the more linear and straightforward original. 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.”
