Drama The Resurrection of the Christ AKA The Passion of the Christ 2 (Jim Caviezel/Mel Gibson)

[Sithborg]

Acid trip of antisemitism, I'm sure.

Meh. Jim C was a good actor. But he’s gone absolutely batsh— crazy. This movie will make a billion from the religious nuts though.

Really such a shame. Dude broke out by being so good that Terrance Malick took a chainsaw to the roles of big-name actors in order to make him the main character of Thin Red Line. He rocked in Count of Monte Cristo and, for all the flaws of Passion of the Christ, did a darn good job. Then he let Gibson drag him down, scored a comeback role with Person of Interest, only to throw it all away to go full QAnon.

Though from the stories I heard from the POI set, he was always like this, he just didn't talk crazy in public until recently. Supposedly he threatened to quit the show mid-season over Root and Shaw being confirmed as queer.

I'm not sure it will. Things are different than when the first one released.

The Passion of the Christ 2 Is 'Like an Acid Trip,' Says Mel Gibson (comingsoon.net)

Could be interesting as long as he doesn't stray too far from the actual Bible, lol.

Everyone in the theater:

Imagine being Mel. And like somehow you’re still able to make movies. And then being like “Yeah, the anti-Semitic one. Let’s do another.”

 

[Closerframe]

I don’t think this will necessarily do as well as the last one—at least not here in the US—just given the demographic changes and overall decline in Christianity. That said, Mel Gibson will do anything to stay relevant and the fact that this is allowed to get made just proves money always comes before values.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Like him or loathe him (like it seems most on here lol) Gibson is a hell of a director. Look, if this on the level of Apocalypto insanity, bring it.

Its going to be a Quanon antisemitic dream movie, but sure, I'm sure it will deserve accolades for being well directed. Considering where both Gibson and Caviziel are now, compared to when the original was made, you really think this is a good idea?

Regardless of his own personal views, how is a film about Christ considered antisemitic though?

Blaming all Jews for killing him

I pray that none of his crazy rubbed off Michael Emerson.

Checked his twitter. He’s one of the good ones.

Where has he been lately? I've been missing watching him in stuff since POI ended. Hollywood has really failed the current crop of Weird Little Dudes.

He's been in the CBS/Paramount+ show Evil, essentially Catholic X-files.

Eh. Gibson fully funded the original film, as well as handled its theatrical distribution (he made so much money by doing both of those things). So essentially, he's not asking producers to "allow" him to make the project -- he's allowing himself.

I'm assuming it will be the same case with the sequel, unless another producer/distributor jumps on board.

They had better hurry up and lock Trump up before Gibson casts him as God in this movie.

Trump would be all over it, too.

Consider Caviezel’s movie did pretty well this weekend even though I had never heard of it, I’d say he’s still got a decent following.

I don't think it had as much to do with Caviezel as much as what it was about.

If you ever see any of that cast on socials, they all hang out once in a while. Even Fusco. Except for Jimmy Conspiracy.

Yep. It's all about playing to the QAnon crowd, who are out there spreading it's gospel, trying to get others to watch it.
