Speaking About the “Passion of the Christ” Sequel
The role of Jesus Christ was played by Jim Caviezel in the original installment of the movie. Jim announced in an interview that the sequel will begin filming in January next year. According to Jordan Ruimy, a film journalist, Mel Gibson will direct the movie and Jim Caviezel will play the lead role again.

According to IMDb.com, the start date for the production titled “Resurrection” is unknown. The screenplay for the sequel is written by Mel Gibson and Randall Wallace. Mary, Jesus Christ’s mother will be played by Maia Morgenstern, as she did in the original movie. Another person maintaining his character from the original movie is Francesco De Vito, who portrayed Peter.
The Build-Up to the Sequel
CBN News reports that The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection has been in the works for about ten years now. Mel Gibson had mentioned to Greg Laurie about taking his time to develop the screenplay for the movie as far back as 2016.

Gibson said, “It’s called ‘The Resurrection’. Of course, that’s a very big subject and it needs to be looked at because we don’t want to just do a simple rendering of it — you know, read what happened. But in order to read it, experience and explore probably deeper meanings of what it’s about, it’s going to take some doing.”
Caviezel was on The Shawn Ryan Show earlier this year, precisely in July, and he mentioned that the project could come in two installments. He said, “(Gibson’s) been on this for a long, long time… it will be the biggest film in history. It might be two films. Could be three, but I think it’s two.”
