can't wait for it.
I'm sure Mel will develir it as always. A masterpiece.
I can already see it breaking 1billion worldwide.

He should make it about Muhammad.

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.

Passion of the Christ 2 with Chris Tucker. Google the Family Guy clip.

and
Wham!
Navvy receives another richly-deserved zinger.

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

without adding-in non-biblical material, as he did in The Passion
No he didn't. Stop lying.

Yes, that's true. But, you're not going to focus on the mundane pointless stuff. You need to sum it down to the important stuff, which under most circumstances isn't that long.

But I think it will take an excellent screenplay in order to pad out the story's running length
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.

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.

About time Mel did the long awaited sequel to Passion of the Christ.

I shudder to think.
"You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think."

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

It's all about Jesus' resurrection. I don't know if Jim Caviezel would be interested. I thought he quit movies.

I can't imagine how he will handle it, other than making a semi-duplication of the not-very-good recent film,
Risen
