Mel Gibson's THE RESURRECTION OF THE CHRIST Confirmed To Shoot This Summer — GeekTyrant
Jim Caviezel is expected to return to play Jesus in the film, while Maia Morgenstern, who played Jesus' mother in 'The Passion,' and Francesco De Vito, who portrayed Peter, are also reportedly on board.
Gibson previously talked about the sequel calling it 'an acid trip' He went on to say that he'd 'never read anything like' the script, which Gibson's been writing alongside Randall Wallace.
He continued offering some details: 'My brother and I and Randall all sort of congregated on this. So there's some good heads put together, but there's some crazy stuff.
'And I think in order to really tell the story properly you have to really start with the fall of the angels, which means you're in another place, you're in another realm. You need to go to hell. You need to go to Sheol.'
Gibson said that he plans to bring Jim Caviezel back to the role of Jesus. Gibson said he would need to incorporate 'a few techniques' such as CGI de-aging on Caviezel since more than 20 years have passed since the first film.
Gibson described the film as 'very ambitious' and said the story not only covers 'the fall of the angels' but also 'the death of the last apostle.'
He said: 'It's about finding the way in that's not cheesy or too obvious. I think I have ideas about how to do that and how to evoke things and emotions in people from the way you depict it and the way you shoot it.
'So I've been thinking about it for a long time. It's not going to be easy and it's going to require a lot of planning and I'm not wholly sure I can pull it off to tell you the truth, it's super ambitious.
'But I'll take a crack at it because that's what you got to do, right, walk up to the plate, right?'
Gibson previously talked about the movie saying that its 'not a linear narrative,' adding that 'you have to juxtapose the central event that I'm trying to tell with everything else around it in the future, in the past, and in other realms, and that's kind of getting a little sci-fi out there.'

Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade Giannulli end romance
Olivia Jade Giannulli and Jacob Elordi have called time on their stop-start relationship. The influencer and the Euphoria actor, who have been dating on and off for four years, recently decided to call it quits for good, according to People magazine. The pair first sparked dating rumours in late 2021, when they were seen having coffee together in the Silver Lake neighbourhood of Los Angeles, just one month after Elordi's split from model and actor Kaia Gerber. The news of the split comes amid months of speculation about the couple's relationship status. The Saltburn star and Giannulli were reported to have called it quits in August 2022 but were then seen holidaying together in Italy in June 2023. They were also spotted spending time on Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, with Giannulli's parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli in mid-July of that year. Giannulli recently shared a glimpse into her life in Paris, in a YouTube vlog, expressing her excitement about what she thinks will be a "formative" time in the French capital. Meanwhile, Elordi recently made headlines as he reunited with Gerber at Cara Delevingne's birthday party in Los Angeles on 5 August. Also in attendance were celebrity guests Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez, Colman Domingo and Paris Hilton.

The human rights lawyer is currently in Lake Como, Italy with her husband George Gist Amal Clooney and her husband George were photographed in Lake Como, Italy on Wednesday. The human rights lawyer opted for a pink dress featuring a sultry thigh-high slit. The Clooneys have been spotted in Lake Como multiple times over the past Clooney typically loves a neutral color palette, but she recently switched things up in a pop of pink. On Wednesday, she stepped out with husband George Clooney in Lake Como, Italy, where they've been spotted over the past week. Amal opted for a fuchsia dress with a sultry thigh-high slit, which featured a small rosette affixed at the hip. She also added on a pair of slingback sandals, completing her look with a tiny gold purse, statement earrings, and oversized sunglasses. George, meanwhile, sported a sleek slate suit and aviator frames. Last week, Amal embraced disco glamour for another date night with George. This time, the human rights lawyer modeled a sequined one-shoulder dress by Badgley Mischka. Amal's sparkly number was trimmed with fringe, echoing fashion's current boho obsession. She accessorized with open-toe heels and a small clutch, wearing her highlighted brunette tresses in loose waves. George and Amal married in Venice, Italy in 2014, and three years later, they welcomed twins Ella and Alexander. Amal also favored a metallic look at the Cartier Women's Initiative Impact Awards in Osaka, Japan in May. She glittered in a gold Alexander McQueen gown complete with a plunging neckline and geometric sequin embroidery. Amal coordinated the archival number—from the designer's fall 2007 collection—with her accessories, carrying a gold clutch and wearing matching metallic pumps. Cartier jewels, no less, including one of the brand's signature Baignoire watches, topped off her ensemble. In an Instagram post shared by Karie Kloss, Amal posed side-by-side with the supermodel, who is currently pregnant with her third child.

Earlier this week, she and George arrived arm in arm to dinner at Villa Passalacqua in dazzling tassled whites. They Clooneys welcomed guests to their Lake Como residence, Villa Oleandra, where Amal traded her fringed looks for a magenta, bias cut gown with a draped neckline.
