“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.” It is a “big subject”, the director said. Gibson indicated that the film may not be released until late 2019 or early 2020. “The evangelical community considers The Passion the biggest movie ever out of Hollywood, and they kept telling us that they think a sequel will be even bigger”, Wallace told the Hollywood Reporter in 2016. Oscar-nominated screenwriter Randall Wallace, who worked with Gibson on 1995's Braveheart, will write the script. I’m not sure, but it’s worth thinking about. Gibson confirmed in late 2016 that he was working on a sequel, whose title will be The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection and said he hoped “the film would be more than just a chronological retelling of the events of the resurrection”. Produced on a $30 million budget and detailing the twelve hours before Christ's crucifixion, The Passion of the Christ grossed $371 million in box offices across North America and $611 million around the world. “I won't tell you how he's going to go about it but I'll tell you this much: the film he's going to do is going to be the biggest film in history”, Caviezel said. The 49-year-old American actor, who played Jesus Christ in the 2004 film, revealed in an interview with the USA Today that he will reprise the role in Gibson's long-awaited sequel. Jim Caviezel has confirmed that the shooting of Mel Gibson's sequel to The Passion of the Christ the new picture is yet to commence.
