(ZENIT News / Los Angeles, 25.04.2024).- Mel Gibson’s new film project, on Jesus’ “Resurrection,” brings together several actors of the original cast of “The Passion of Christ”: Jim Caviezel, Maia Morgenstern and Francesco De Vito. The film will be shot in Israel, Morocco and Italy.
“Resurrection” will show events that occurred between the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, the intrigues, Herod’s Palace and events that happened in Jerusalem during the Sunday of the Resurrection.
The film’s release is planned for April 18, 2025, Good Friday. The production will be filmed with special events, such as the Fall of the Angels and scenes in Hell.
Mel Gibson said that his new film requires entering in “other realms” and “dimensions.” “It cannot be lineal. It’s necessary to have many things juxtaposing each other, including of different times.”
“The Passion of Christ,” released in 2004, focused on the last hours of Jesus Christ’s life on earth. Gibson directed that film, produced it, acted in it and financed a good part of the production. The soundtrack used Aramaic, Latin and Hebrew with subtitles, to give greater authenticity to the narration, said Gibson.
