The countdown is underway for Mel Gibson’s much-anticipated “Resurrection of the Christ,” now in post-production and reportedly carrying a total budget of $250 million.

Unlike Gibson’s 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ,” which he shot in Aramaic, the new project will be in English. Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci will not return to their roles. Jaakko Ohtonen will play Jesus, while Mariela Garriga will portray Mary Magdalene.

The story begins after the crucifixion, but it is not presented as a straightforward biblical adaptation. World of Reel reports that Gibson has described the film as a psychedelic experience featuring battles between angels and demons, as well as Christ’s descent into hell. The director has warned that the experience will “shatter us.”

Gibson recently disclosed more details in an interview with The Christian Post. Audiences can expect a depiction of hell, fallen angels and the story of Satan’s origins. The first part is expected to reach cinemas on May 6, 2027, with the second scheduled for May 2028.
