The Randall Wallace who Mel Gibson references is also the Oscar-nominated screenwriter on Gibson’s majestic and epic Braveheart, so the two men have a long-standing collaborative history that has produced memorable cinema.
On his own, Wallace — as Mel points out — helmed The Man In The Iron Mask, We Were Soldiers, Secretariat and Heaven Is For Real, so The Resurrection would be in his wheelhouse.
He directed We Were Soldiers and Heaven Is For Real and stuff.
Gibson had to go away for a while, but this year, he has worked his way back.
