Following the phenomenal success of 2004’s The Passion of the Christ, there were some folks wondering if co-writer/director Mel Gibson would ever make a cinematic follow-up to his high-grossing biblical tale.
Following his climatic death in Passion of the Christ, the resurrection was set to follow.
Details were limited, but he claimed that the story would follow the resurrection of Christ, which makes sense.
It was around this point in time that Oscar-nominated screenwriter Randall Wallace, who wrote Mel Gibson’s Best Picture-winning Braveheart and also penned and directed 2000’s We Were Soldiers, announced that he was working with Gibson on a sequel to his hit religious drama.
