Director Mel Gibson has announced that his upcoming film The Resurrection of the Christ has wrapped filming, with an expected release date of 2027.

Gibson revealed that, unlike The Passion of the Christ, which was released in 2004 on a $30 million budget and went on to gross more than $600 million worldwide, the sequel will have a budget of more than $250 million and will be released in two installments.

Jim Caviezel will not be returning as Jesus. The role has been recast with actor Jaakko Ohtonen ...

The film will also heavily feature CGI and special-effects shots, including depictions of the fall of the angels and Lucifer, the creation of the world, and Jesus in hell prior to his resurrection. It will conclude with the death of the last apostle. ...

... And I have two scripts right, and one of them is very structured and a very strong script and kind of more what you’d expect. And the other is like an acid trip and because you’re going into other realms and stuff. I mean you’re in hell... It’s like, you know, you’re watching the angels fall...”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
That was tough.
Yeah, I couldn't help but think I put some of those stripes on his back...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I skipped to the end.  The devil did it.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Same. My husband once suggested we watch it every Easter, but i just couldn't do it. The imagery is still plenty vivid in my head and in my heart.

I do not think it was intended to be easy to watch, but it very effectively probes the depths of the sacrifice made for us all. I really don't see how anyone watching could be unmoved, and that is what makes it a truly great film. I will check out the others when they are released.
