Yes, it's about Jesus' resurrection, but that is a very short story, even when all the Gospel accounts are placed in one cinematic basket. That's why I thought of
Risen
, which tried to do the same thing, only complicating it with the improbable scenario of a renegade Roman soldier traveling with the post-Resurrection disciples. I am wondering how much, and what kind of, padding Gibson would use in his film.
Interesting bit about Caviezel yeah, if he's out of the acting business, Gibson will have to hire someone elseor, maybe Caviezel would be willing to return out of enthusiasm for this particular project -

Yes, there is some public demand for it, especially, of course, among MG fans. But I think it will take an excellent screenplay in order to pad out the story's running length - that is, to film it as written without adding-in non-biblical material, as he did in
The Passion
(and was done in
Risen
).
Perhaps a sequel might be a chance for MG to include several important scriptural teachings that he left out of
The Passion
. That, at least, would be a bonus, if he saw fit to do it. -

Not sure what you mean, The Passion was a 24 hour period, 1 day, turned into a 2 hour movie.
The Resurrection was 3 days, Mel should have zero trouble with story length. -

When was Jesus thrown from a bridge? Or the thief's eye plucked out by a raven? Or where Satan, for some reason, takes part with the infant antichrist?
Take your own advice, stop lying.
Well, given your knowledge of your own religion and its texts, I guess technically you aren't lying, just ignorant

The article in the OP make it sound like this sequel is not actually going to be about Jesus. Jesus will probably just be a tertiary side character.
That's not really a sequel to POTC.
If the movie follows that "make up a fictional story that follows random people" template, it will probably be crappy.
