The sequel to The Passion, entitled The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection,^[1] ought to have its own page. The Passion was a huge success and its sequel should get the proper attention. Jim Caviezel is saying that the sequel will be "the biggest film in history."^[2] Further, there is a lot of information out there in the public arena, and definitely enough to make an interesting page about it. For example, it has been reported that Jim Caviezel will reprise his role as Jesus,^[3] Maia Morgenstern will return as the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Christo Jivkov and Francesco De Vito will return as St. John and St. Peter, respectively.^[4] In addition, Mel Gibson is set to direct it,^[5] and is teaming up with Braveheart screenplay writer, Randall Wallace,^[6] who co-wrote The Resurrection screenplay with Gibson.^[7] He says that he really wants to tell the story of Christ's Resurrection and that "The Passion is the beginning and there's a lot more story to tell."^[8]

Moreover, just like The Passion, The Resurrection is already stirring up controversy. Some are concerned and dismayed that Mel Gibson is going to direct another film, others are worried about the alleged antisemitism in The Passion may continue in the sequel.^[9] In addition, some are saying that The Resurrection will have obstacles that The Passion didn't have to worry about.^[10]

Lastly, Jim Caviezel has also said that The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection will "shock the audience,"^[11] and Mel Gibson said, in an interview with Steven Colbert, that it might include Jesus's decent into Hell^[12][13] and, in an interview with Raymond Arroyo on EWTN, he said that the sequel would include a flashback to the fall of the angels.^[14] JJPII (talk) 10:05, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I am aware that the sequel is currently filming in top secrecy because this was revealed in local Spanish language news outlets a while ago as beginning May 10th for a projected Easter 2020 release, given the movie is being filmed in the same locations as the original film and Gibson has made it a top secret project again. But can we please have direct confirmation the production is actually occurring? I cannot find an English source yet and the original Spanish source is difficult to relocate. Thanks.

I have failed to locate a reliable source for the dates of filming in Italy, first on location and then in the studios at Cinecitta.

The current dates given are incorrect, and the source link is dead. I suspect that the wording of the now-dead non-viewable linked article was ambiguous, possibly referring only to the filming portion in the town of Craco (Basilicata). I do not know how reliable the now-gone source was.

Unless a source is found, maybe with only approximate filming dates (it was Nov. 2002 to May-June 2003) I would like to suggest removing the unsourced and inaccurate dates. Apollinari (talk) 02:20, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I see no reliable sources anywhere for commencement of principal photography on a sequel. I have re-instated the redirect to this article, as decided by the previous discussion. Fred Zepelin (talk) 17:18, 11 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This section is too long and too detailed. Storm in a tea cup, etc.

On February 7, 2017, 20th Century Fox re-released the film on Blu-ray and DVD featuring both cuts, with the theatrical version being dubbed in English and Spanish;[67] this marks the first time the film has ever been dubbed in another language.

The film has a Portuguese dubbed version since 2015 [1] [2]

Why is there a category Category:Obscenity controversies in the article? Just because of this part "and some of the crude language used by the Roman soldiers was not translated in the subtitles"? Was the "crude language" really something that caused controversy? Is that really enough of a thing to include such a category? Checking the history, I found that the category was included in this edition. I consider removing that category, as no lewd controversy has been pointed out about the film. The controversy is more related to violent content. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 17:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Given that it was added by an IP who hasn't edited since 2013, you'd probably be well within your rights to remove it. I note that the film was criticized for excessive violence, and that there's a subsection discussing that, but whether that constitutes obscenity isn't something I have a strong opinion on.
