Mel Gibson's a lot of delayed “The Passion of the Christ” is divided into two films, with each part being released in 2027.
“The resurrection of Christ Part one” is planned for Good Friday, March 26, while “Part Two” is set at the Ascension Day, May 6th, for 40 days later. Lionsgate will publish the films in the cinemas.
“The Resurrection of Christ” is the continuation of the biblical epic “The Passion of the Christ” from 2004, which was highest until last year with $ 370 million at the inland skintass with R-rating film of all times. This record was recently replaced by Disney's “Deadpool & Wolverine”, which deserved a mammoth of $ 636 million in Germany. With 610 million US dollars, “the Passion of Christ” remains one of the largest independent films of all time against a production control budget of $ 30 million. In addition to the commercial splendor, the film was nominated at the Oscars for best make -up, cinematography and original score.
The original film with Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth and Monica Bellucci as Maria Magdalene followed the last 12 hours before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Gibson referred to the sequels as a “acid trip” and added that he “never read” the screenplays that the filmmaker wrote next to Randall Wallace. As the title suggests, the action is expected to focus on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Gibson, whose career derails from several controversy outside the screen, returned to the studio filmmaking for the first time in eight years with the “flugrand” in January. The aircraft set thriller with Mark Wahlberg was not able to ignite only $ 48 million at the box office worldwide. Previously, he headed “Hacksaw Ridge”, “Braveheart” and “Apocalypto” in 2016.
