Jesus star ‘on the ground crying’ over Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ 2 plans

When The Passion of the Christ first hit cinemas 19 years in the past, the controversial and bloody retelling of Jesus’ closing hours was an enormous hit making over $622 million worldwide.

Since then, director Mel Gibson and his titular star Jim Caviezel have been planning a sequel centered on the Resurrection and its aftermath full with scenes in different realms with angels.

The filmmaker himself has confirmed he’s contemplating a few scripts in the intervening time with one which’s described as a “crazy acid trip”.

Production on Passion of the Christ 2 Resurrection, which can be unfold throughout two or three films, continues to be pushed again however the pair are decided that the blockbusters will occur.

Caviezel, who has been selling his new film Sound of Freedom, a US field workplace hit in regards to the true story of rescuing sex-trafficked kids, has shared an replace on what is going to seemingly be the primary sequel.

Speaking on the Shawn Ryan Show, Caviezel mentioned: “I asked him [Gibson] would you be ready to go in January, he said ‘Yeah, maybe.’

“I said ‘How about the end of Fall,’ he said ‘Yeah, maybe.’ So who knows… He’s been on this for a long, long time.

“It will be the biggest film in history. It might be two films, maybe three, but I think it’s two.”

What Caviezel has seen of the script to this point has completely blown him away.

Speaking on Devin Nunes Unplugged, the 54-year-old actor mentioned: “Mel [Gibson] took me through all of the scenes and I was on the floor crying […] it’ll be one of the best things you’ve ever seen.

He joked: “I can’t tell you [when it’s coming out]. If I told you I’d have to kill you.”
