It’s a highly-charged one, so we keep our cards close to our chest.”Īt this point, two separate but related narratives become important, and they involve some tabloid details around Gibson and Caviezel’s respective lives.įirst up, Gibson’s long history of racist and antisemitic comments finally caught up to him, first in 2006 and then again in 2010 when a recording of a racist and abusive rant towards his then-girlfriend leaked to the press. That is the Mount Everest of movies and we are in discussions about it a lot. My major focus of study was the resurrection. “My major in college was religion, and I did a year seminary afterward. “It’s something we talk about a lot,” Wallace said. Then in 2020, Randall Wallace spoke to Movieweb about the purported script which, as is becoming a pattern here, seems to both exist and not exist - a subject of great interest but very few concrete details. But when USA Today asked Caviezel to tell them what that date is, he declined. Caviezel told USA Today that Gibson had “cracked” the story and even revealed that they had set a tentative date to start shooting the movie. That all sounds pretty good, but another telling detail emerges over the course of this interview. It’s that good.” At the time, Caviezel was playing the Apostle Luke in Paul, Apostle of Christ, possibly creating a bit of confusion in the New Testament Cinematic Universe. “But I’ll tell you this much: The film he’s going to do is going to be the biggest film in history. “I won’t tell you how is going to go about it,” Caviezel said.
As of 2016, Gibson was being asked about a script for a Passion sequel and while he was happy to publicly brainstorm about the scope, things sound emphatically loose.Īll was quiet on The Passion 2 front for two years until USA Today interviewed Caviezel in 2018, who promised box office history. So, from all this, we can pick up a few clues. “But it’s worth thinking about isn’t it?” “So you would actually do a little Inferno?” Colbert asks, referencing Dante’s poem on the subject, and this is where we get our first real tell as to the state of the script’s development at that time. It’s an acid trip.” Well, that does sound like a cinematic experience but as you watch the clip, it’s not hard to pick up on an air of evasiveness in Gibson’s responses about how definite this thing is. “It’s a vast theological experience …it gets pretty wild. Then in 2018, Gibson sat down with author and Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo where he spoke openly about the idea of a cosmic sequel to The Passion, which would focus far more on the supernatural events taking place in realms beyond our own during the time between Jesus’ bodily death and resurrection. “We’re trying to craft this in a way that’s cinematically compelling and enlightening so that it shines new light, if possible, without creating some weird thing.”

In 2016, Gibson told USA Today that he was trying to find a way to make a movie about the resurrection interesting, which apparently would entail more than three days of everyone waiting for Jesus to show up again. Gibson has waxed on it very publicly for years. Well, Caviezel’s heart aside, he’s not the only one who has discussed this. “It’s gonna be the biggest film in world history, I believe it will be based on what I feel in my heart.” “It’s going to be a masterpiece,” Caviezel told Fox, with the bombast that has become his running theme. Caviezel has discussed it plenty of times before, including a conversation with Fox News in March of 2020 where he said he had just received the “fifth draft,” which would seem to contradict his September statement about just reading a third draft but whatever. There’s an IMDb page with a few attached actors. There’s just one question: Is this movie really happening?įirst things first, there is plenty of evidence that a lot of people at least want this to happen.
It’s going to be the biggest film in world history.”Ĭaviezel has teased the existence of The Passion 2: Passion Reloaded several times, always promising it was going to be a Big Deal. “It’s called The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection.
“Mel Gibson just sent me the third picture, the third draft. In fact, he said, it was well on its way. Yes, in an interview with notorious far-right conspiracy rag Brietbart, Caviezel said a sequel to Mel Gibson’s 2004 mega-hit The Passion of the Christ was in the works. Back in September of 2020, actor Jim Caviezel raised a startling claim: Jesus was coming back, to a theater near you.
