Academy Award-winning director Mel Gibson's sequel to what many consider to be the greatest and most financially successful faith-based films of all time — "The Passion of the Christ" — has finally been given a significant update. And it's good news for fans of Gibson and the original film.
"The Passion" isn't just getting one sequel, but two, both of which will be released within months of each other. Lionsgate Films announced the release on Wednesday. "The Resurrection of the Christ" will be released in two parts.
Part one will hit theaters on Good Friday, March 26, 2027. Part two will be released six weeks later on May 6, 2027. The latter date marks the celebration of Ascension Day, which is when the risen Christ returned to heaven, where He was crowned King of Kings and took His place at the right hand of the Father.
The film was first announced on May 15. Lionsgate revealed it would be partnering up with Gibson's Icon Productions to make the two sequels.
“For many, many people across the globe, ‘The Resurrection of the Christ’ is the most anticipated theatrical event in a generation. It is also an awe-inspiring and spectacularly epic theatrical film that is going to leave moviegoers worldwide breathless,” Adam Fogelson, the current chairman of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, remarked in a press release about the partnership.
Gibson, speaking on his partnership with the studio, said, “Lionsgate’s brave, innovative spirit and nimble, can-do attitude have inspired me for a long time, and I couldn’t think of a more perfect distributor for ‘The Resurrection of the Christ.’”
When the first film hit theaters in 2004, it made a staggering $80 million on opening weekend against a budget of only $30 million.
