EXCLUSIVE: Mel Gibson‘s two-part feature The Resurrection Of The Christ is likely to be the biggest-budget project on sale at next month’s American Film Market.
We’re hearing from sources that each film could come with a budget in the $100M region, making it a combined $200M prospect. Those are rare numbers these days in the independent market.
It means that Lionsgate will have had the big-ticket project at back to back markets after the indie major took the latest Hunger Games movie to Cannes.
Sources close to the project have confirmed to us that it will include battles between angels and demons and forces of ‘good and evil’ in other realms, which probably goes some way to explaining the big budget.
Given its complexity, Gibson has previously suggested that dialogue will likely be in English instead of Aramaic and Hebrew (like the original) so as not to overwhelm viewers.
