Mel Gibson has begun filming the long-awaited sequel to The Passion of the Christ, titled The Resurrection of Christ. This new project will be divided into two parts: the first will premiere on March 26, 2027, coinciding with Good Friday, while the second part is scheduled for May 6, 2027, Ascension Day. Both dates place the narrative in the religious context surrounding the central events of the film.

Amen!

The filming takes place in the iconic Cinecittà studios in Rome, where Gibson also made the first installment of this story that became a global phenomenon and one of the highest-grossing independent productions of all time. This time, Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen will replace Jim Caviezel in the role of Jesus, leading a completely new cast that includes Mariela Garriga as Mary Magdalene, Riccardo Scamarcio as Pontius Pilate, and Rupert Everett in a supporting role.

Gibson has described The Resurrection of Christ as a visually extreme and emotionally deep narrative that will focus on the three days following the crucifixion. The film promises to explore the spiritual mystery of the resurrection, adopting an experimental and symbolic approach. Additionally, the use of Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin will be maintained, lines that continue the linguistic ambition of its predecessor.

The filming will also move to different historical sites in southern Italy, such as Matera and Gravina Laterza, which will enrich the visual and mystical atmosphere that the director intends to convey. With this sequel, Gibson aims to continue the legacy of one of the most controversial films of the 21st century, generating both interest and controversy among audiences and critics.

Netflix has surprised its subscribers in Spain by adding the four installments of the iconic ‘Lethal Weapon’ saga to its catalog, becoming the first streaming service in the country to offer these iconic action movies. Starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover under the direction of Richard Donner, these films have left a significant mark on cinematic culture since their release.

They are too old for this

The first ‘Lethal Weapon’ is widely considered the best of the saga, thanks to its raw tone and the complexity of the Gibson character, Martin Riggs, who exhibits serious psychological issues. While the sequel introduces Joe Pesci and offers memorable scenes, the third part features Rene Russo, bringing a new dynamic, although criticized for being more conventional. The fourth installment, while featuring Jet Li, has been seen as less impactful than its predecessors.

The possibility of a fifth installment has been a recurring topic in recent years, especially after the passing of director Richard Donner, which could complicate its realization. Although Donner had instructed Gibson to manage it if he passed away, the age difference between the actors —Gibson at 69 and Glover at 79— has raised doubts about its viability. Thus, expectations for ‘Lethal Weapon 5’ remain uncertain and many are wondering if the saga will continue without its original protagonists.

In any case, Netflix subscribers can now enjoy the four movies on Netflix, filling a gap that has persisted to date in the streaming landscape in Spain.

Mel Gibson has confirmed that he is working on a sequel to his successful film The Passion of the Christ, titled The Resurrection of Christ. This new installment will be divided into two parts, with the release of the first scheduled for March 26, 2027, coinciding with Good Friday, while the second will be released on May 6, 2027, Ascension Day. Gibson aims to once again attract a Christian audience, as he did with the original film, which became a cinematic event during Holy Week.

Praise be to the big bills!

However, the premiere of The Resurrection of Christ could coincide with the release of The Legend of Zelda, raising the possibility that both productions may change their dates to avoid direct competition. Although the audiences for both films may be different, the popularity of Zelda could lead to a rescheduling by Nintendo.

Despite the time that has passed since the announcement of the project, Gibson has expressed having many ideas for this sequel, which has motivated his decision to split the narrative into two parts. The return of Jim Caviezel as Jesus Christ has also been confirmed, although his career has been marked by controversy, especially after his participation in the controversial film Sound of Freedom.

It is important to mention that Gibson’s career has been plagued by controversies, including antisemitic comments and legal issues related to domestic violence, which have negatively impacted his reputation in Hollywood. The last film he released, Threat in the Air in 2024, only grossed 48 million dollars and was severely criticized.

With the Resurrection of Christ, Gibson hopes to regain some of his past glory, while facing the challenge of tackling a story that will resonate with an audience expecting a deep and relevant message. Anticipation is growing, and with it, curiosity about how this highly awaited sequel will unfold.
