Dark Horizons is reporting that Caviezel has confirmed heās currently in possession of the third draft of the script (although in previous reports heās been quoted as saying heās been given five drafts). Gibson has spoken less often about the project but has also confirmed that it is still in active development. Currently titled The Passion Of The Christ: Resurrection, Caviezel has claimed āitās going to be the biggest film in world historyā whilst Gibson has spoken previously, saying āwe donāt just want to do a simple rendering of itā.
Whilst the first film made an incredible amount of money at the box office, grossing over $600 million from a $30 million budget, a lot has happened in the world since, and especially in Gibsonās personal life.
Whether this one ever gets off the ground and meets its slated release date of 2022 remains to be seen, although weād argue that with the first one making so much money, it could yet happen. Gibson, as with the first movie, is after all in a position to fund the project himself. Heās also said to be developing a remake of Sam Peckinpahās The Wild Bunch, also due in 2022. Which one comes first remains to be seenā¦
