North American R-rated box office king "The Passion of the Christ" made a sequel The director is still Mel Gibson

"The Passion of the Christ", directed by Mel Gibson, a Hollywood "tough guy" who became a director, is his highest-grossing film and the highest-grossing R-rated film in North America. Two years ago, the film was rumored to be filming a second film, but it has not been followed. Recently, jim Caviezel, the lead actor of the first part, revived the sequel, saying that Gibson will continue to direct the sequel "The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection", and he has read the third draft script, "this will be the largest film in film history".

Beijing Mtime Network quoted the Breitbart News website as reporting that Kavize compared Jesus and superheroes in an interview, suggesting that the film will have various miracle shots, which can be compared with epic blockbusters such as "Ben-Hur".

The Passion of the Christ recounts the last 12 hours of Jesus' life, including his torture and crucifixion after being betrayed by traitors. Due to the large number of bloody and violent scenes in the film, it was set to R rated when it was released.

Released in North America in 2004, the film received three Oscar nominations and grossed $612 million worldwide with a $30 million investment, while the film topped the R-rated film in North America at $370 million.

Sina Entertainment reported that in 2016, the news of the sequel was that Randall Wallace, the screenwriter who cooperated with Gibson in "Braveheart", had written the first version of the script for the sequel, but the script has now been changed to the third version, and it is not known whether the follow-up screenplay has been changed.

Gibson has revealed that the sequel will not be available until late 2019 or early 2020 at the earliest. Now it seems that the sequel production process has been going according to plan. (End)
