Mel Gibson's THE RESURRECTION OF THE CHRIST Confirmed To Shoot This Summer — GeekTyrant
Jim Caviezel is expected to return to play Jesus in the film, while Maia Morgenstern, who played Jesus' mother in 'The Passion,' and Francesco De Vito, who portrayed Peter, are also reportedly on board.
Gibson previously talked about the sequel calling it 'an acid trip' He went on to say that he'd 'never read anything like' the script, which Gibson's been writing alongside Randall Wallace.
He continued offering some details: 'My brother and I and Randall all sort of congregated on this. So there's some good heads put together, but there's some crazy stuff.
'And I think in order to really tell the story properly you have to really start with the fall of the angels, which means you're in another place, you're in another realm. You need to go to hell. You need to go to Sheol.'
Gibson said that he plans to bring Jim Caviezel back to the role of Jesus. Gibson said he would need to incorporate 'a few techniques' such as CGI de-aging on Caviezel since more than 20 years have passed since the first film.
Gibson described the film as 'very ambitious' and said the story not only covers 'the fall of the angels' but also 'the death of the last apostle.'
He said: 'It's about finding the way in that's not cheesy or too obvious. I think I have ideas about how to do that and how to evoke things and emotions in people from the way you depict it and the way you shoot it.
'So I've been thinking about it for a long time. It's not going to be easy and it's going to require a lot of planning and I'm not wholly sure I can pull it off to tell you the truth, it's super ambitious.
'But I'll take a crack at it because that's what you got to do, right, walk up to the plate, right?'
Gibson previously talked about the movie saying that its 'not a linear narrative,' adding that 'you have to juxtapose the central event that I'm trying to tell with everything else around it in the future, in the past, and in other realms, and that's kind of getting a little sci-fi out there.'

‘Yellowstone' star Josh Lucas ties the knot with meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo inside the Vatican
The forecast predicts sunny skies for Josh Lucas and Brianna Ruffalo. The 'Yellowstone' star, 54, and Los Angeles meteorologist, 34, tied the knot inside Vatican City. 'Mr. and Mrs. Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city,' Ruffalo wrote on Instagram on Friday. The weather woman's sweet words accompanied black and white shots of her and her groom kissing, walking out of the chapel, and posing in front of the beautiful building. Lucas replied in the comments section, stating, 'I love you! Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful.' The pair exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Italy. Lucas donned a classic black tuxedo, while Ruffalo opted for a lace, strapless gown. In a second post, the blushing bride shared a close-up of herself and her partner on their special day. 'We are grateful to the many people who helped us get to this moment in the Catholic Church,' Ruffalo penned. 'I am so thankful for Father Winters at the parish I grew up in, and Sister Angelica at the archdiocese of Los Angeles- as well as several others within the archdiocese.' She added, 'We also absolutely couldn't have done this without our stellar wedding planning team who coordinated with the Vatican. Thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and easy Thank you P & J team.' Lucas took to his own Instagram to gush over his nuptials. The 'Sweet Home Alabama' vet gave followers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of their wedding with adorable Instagram pics. In one shot, Lucas is casually leaning his hand against the wall as he smiles at Ruffalo, who is holding a white laced umbrella over her head. A second snap, in black and white, shows the actor fully leaning up against the building as the media personality struts by. The 'Palm Royale' star and news anchor began dating in 2022, before getting engaged in June 2024. Lucas popped the question while on a romantic getaway in Italy last summer. 'Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life,' Ruffalo wrote on Instagram at the time, 'and we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we've never experienced—on every level.' 'This was the easiest and best question I've ever answered,' she continued. 'So, here's to forever with my love, my best friend. I can't wait to keep living this life with you.' Lucas echoed his partner's sentiments, writing in his own post, 'For the last 2 years in Every Way and Every Day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper, and more whole.' 'I am so grateful and thrilled she said 'Yes.' I WAY love you, Brianna. Thank you to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky.' Lucas was previously married to Jessica Clencin Henriquez from 2012 to 2014. The exes share son Noah, 13. In 2022, the actor spoke about having his mini-me on set in Montana while filming the western 'Yellowstone.' 'To bring him on set and have him there, we had a great day, a rather, I must say, humbling day for me,' Lucas told Entertainment Tonight. 'It was the scene early in this season where I knock a guy out.' On the series, which ran for five seasons from 2018 to 2024, the 'Firm' star played the younger version of Kevin Costner's John Dutton. 'My son was sitting at the monitor,' Lucas continued 'I walked up to the guy to punch him and, frankly, I tripped. My hat fell off and I dropped my gun. My son screamed from the monitor. He was like, 'Dad, you're a fool!'' Although Lucas has largely kept his son out of the spotlight, he did share in 2019 that Noah's first kiss was with a fellow A-lister's daughter. Noah shared a smooch with Luna, Uma Thurman's daughter, while their parents were worked together in the 2017 Broadway show, 'The Parisian Woman.' 'Backstage, [Noah and Luna] had their little playroom, and one day we opened the playroom and they both like popped up from behind the couch, both of them. And they were both obviously so nervous,' Lucas explained while on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden.' 'Luna, Uma's daughter, walked out, and I took Noah and was like, 'What's going on?'' 'He was like, 'I think, I guess I just had my first kiss,'' the actor added. 'Think about that — your first kiss is backstage behind a couch in a Broadway theater.' Solve the daily Crossword

'The Sound of Music' child star shares the secret to cast's 60-year friendship
The hills are alive – with the sound of a reunion. The former child stars of "The Sound of Music," who have remained friends for 60 years, recently reunited in Florence, Italy. Kym Karath, who played the youngest von Trapp sibling, Gretl, shared photos of the group catching up and enjoying bottles of wine on her Instagram. "The Sound of Music in Florence – the five of us!" the 66-year-old captioned a group photo. In the snap, Karath appeared alongside Nicholas Hammond, 75, who played the eldest von Trapp son, Friedrich; Duane Chase, 74, who played Kurt; Angela Cartwright, 72, who played Brigitta; and Debbie Turner, 68, who played Marta. It was a bittersweet reunion for the pals. Heather Menzies-Urich, who played Louisa, died in 2017 at the age of 68. Charmian Carr, who was the eldest sibling Liesl, passed away in 2016 at age 73. Christopher Plummer, who played the family patriarch Captain von Trapp, died in 2021 at the age of 91. "Celebrating together in Florence with all my film siblings was a complete delight," Karath told Fox News Digital. "Being together, the five of us, in one of the most beautiful cities, Florence, and appearing in the breathtaking historic theater Teatro Niccolini, built in 1648, was absolutely magical," she gushed. "The press was wonderful, and the fans were overwhelmingly warm and enthusiastic." Karath said it's a no-brainer that the castmates have remained close over the years. "I think the secret behind our friendship is the secret of all enduring friendships, although ours started at a film studio; staying close, loyal, and being there for one another," the actress explained. "As for the film's enduring appeal, beyond the soaring melodies and beautiful locations, it is the story of a real family who loved one another and were truly courageous." "The Sound of Music" premiered on March 2, 1965. The Oscar-winning film was inspired by the real-life von Trapp family that fled Austria to escape the Nazi regime. It tells the tale of a 1930s governess who watches over the large family and their widowed father, with the help of music. Descendants of the von Trapp family now run the von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort in Vermont. "Here is a little-known fact - the film family is friends with the real family," said Karath. "I just had a wonderful conversation with Elizabeth von Trapp, Werner's daughter. Werner was portrayed by Duane Chase… and they became friends. When Werner passed away, he left Duane his beautiful Austrian jacket." There's also one good reason why the cast enjoyed an Italian getaway. "We are currently working on a documentary and filmed [it] while we were in Florence together!" she teased. The actress was just three years old when she was scouted while having a cheeseburger at her father's restaurant in California. However, Karath's claim to fame was the film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music." Karath previously told Fox News Digital that being on the set in Salzburg was "spellbinding." "One of the best things about that movie for me was becoming a family," Karath explained. "And we did become one in real life. And being in Salzburg, Austria, I think, started my profound love of Europe and history. [But] it was not a fun thing missing my father and brother. But my sister and mother were with me. And our group really became a family, which was wonderful." The film's leading lady, Julie Andrews, quickly developed a close-knit bond with the child actors. The star, now 86, went on to win a Golden Globe and received an Academy Award nomination for her performance as Maria. Karath described the actress as "a gift." WATCH: 'THE SOUND OF MUSIC' ACTRESS KYM KARATH RECALLS CLOSE BOND WITH JULIE ANDREWS, WHY SHE 'FLED' HOLLYWOOD "I loved her from the minute I met her," she gushed. "There is never a bad moment with Julie Andrews – never. She's just the sweetest, most unbelievable, talented, brilliant human… I think we all have the same favorite memory to some extent. That was when she took out her guitar and she just sang to us. And she would have us sing with her in between the scenes to amuse us, to entertain us, to make the time pass. She was a pure delight." Plummer did not offer the same warm and fuzzy feeling, she said. "At the time, he was kind of standoffish," Karath admitted. "Very handsome, but I really wasn't noticing men being handsome at [age] five – actually let me correct myself. I noticed that George Chakiris was handsome when he was in 'West Side Story.'" But that all changed decades later. "There was an event for 9/11 at the Westport Country Playhouse… I went backstage to see him, and he was waiting for me. Paul Newman was the master of ceremonies. He and [his wife] Joanne Woodward grabbed me backstage and said, 'Your father's been pacing the floor, he's dying to see you!'… Such a lovely man. So courtly, charming and funny. Truly delightful."
