The Passion of the Christ Writer Hints at Sequel
Mel Gibson may soon be returning to his Passion. The actor and director, along with writer Randall Wallace, are working on a sequel to The Passion of the Christ, the Braveheart screenwriter told The Hollywood Reporter. Wallace said the follow-up would track the resurrection of Jesus. "I always wanted to tell this story," he said. "The Passion is the beginning and there's a lot more story to tell.", With Jim Caviezel as Jesus, The Passion divided critics but conquered the box office to the tune of more than 611 million worldwide on just a 30 million budget. Wallace and Gibson collaborated on the Oscar-winning Braveheart Gibson starred and directed, while Wallace penned the script. The duo also worked on the upcoming World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge, with Gibson directing and Wallace co-writing. Reps for Gibson would not comment on his involvement in a Passion sequel.
