One Ticket To Mel Gibson’s “Acid Trip” of a Sequel to Passion of the Christ, Please

We can’t help ourselves. After decades of bad press, misogynistic audio tapes, and straight up racism, we still want to see what Mel Gibson does with the story of his lord and savior Jesus Christ in the upcoming sequel to the 2004 blockbuster, The Passion of the Christ.

Gibson spoke about the upcoming sequel, titled (what else?) The Resurrection of the Christ in a lengthy interview with Joe Rogan (of course) that also featured the actor/director’s thoughts on his house burning down in the Palisades Fire. Gibson said of the film:

“I’m hoping [to start filming] next year sometime. There’s a lot required because [the script is] an acid trip. I’ve never read anything like it. There’s some crazy stuff. In order to tell the story properly you have to start with the fall of the angels. You’re in another realm. You need to go Hell. You need to go to Sheol.”

There you have it folks, sometimes you need to go to Sheol. Some other things we learned about the film from Gibson’s visit to the Mother Ship:

Original Passion star Jim Caviezel is back, baby! This will likely require some de-aging CGI because 20 years have passed since the release of the first film, and about three days will have passed in the story. Gibson says he’s been working on the script with his brother, and Bravehart scribe Randall Wallace. Gibson also took a swipe at Buddha for some reason during the unhinged interview.

As kooky as Gibson is, The Resurrection of the Christ sounds even kookier. We’ll be at the theater on day one.
