According to a new report, Mel Gibson is scouting locations in Malta for the sequel to the 2004 blockbuster The Passion of the Christ and could begin production as early as 2025. That sequel, The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, has long been anticipated by fans and is expected to explore the events leading up to and following the resurrection.
The Italian news site Italpress reported last week that Gibson was in Malta “on a five-day visit for discussions with the Maltese authorities in connection with a potential film project.”
“It is understood that Gibson is scouting for locations to film the sequel to 2004’s The Passion of the Christ, which he co-wrote, produced, and directed,” Italpress reported.
Gibson and a production team met with Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela, Italpress said.
“The Australian actor is among an 11-member team scouting Malta following an invitation by the Malta Film Commission,” the report said.
The Passion of the Christ is the top-grossing Christian-themed movie of all time and ranked Number 1 at the box office for four weekends in 2004. It grossed $370 million (R6.49 billion)
