Mel Gibson is preparing to embark on filming a highly anticipated project next year. The follow-up to The Passion of the Christ has has undergone extensive development for a significant period, and it appears Gibson is finally ready to start bringing it to life. After nearly seven years of work on the script, co-written with his brother and Randall Wallace, the time has come to move forward.
Gibson expresses hope for a filming start in the upcoming year, noting the extensive requirements of the project. He describes the screenplay as an extraordinary journey, unlike anything he has encountered before.
In a recent discussion, Gibson unveiled details about the ambitious film. It will cover an extensive period, showcasing events ranging from the fall of the angels to the passing of the last apostle. Notably, the film will employ de-aging technology for Jim Caviezel, who reprises his iconic role as Jesus.
He notes that the collaborative effort among himself, his brother, and Wallace has resulted in some remarkable ideas, but acknowledges that the narrative also includes some unconventional elements. To convey the story effectively, he insists it is essential to start from the fall of the angels, involving a journey to various realms, including hell and Sheol.
Gibson stresses that meticulous planning is integral to this project and recognizes the challenges ahead. Despite these obstacles, he is determined to create a compelling story that strongly connects with viewers.
