Gibson, who partnered with Lionsgate on his films “Hacksaw Ridge” and “Flight Risk,” said that “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.’ I’ve enjoyed working with Adam and the team several times over recent years.”
“I know the clever ingenuity, passion, and ambition the entire team commits to their projects and I’m confident they will bring everything they can to the release of this movie,” he added.
While there is no date set for the release of “The Resurrection of the Christ,” Gibson is rumored to begin filming in August of this year. Jim Caviezel is set to reprise his role as Jesus. Monica Bellucci is also set to return as Mary Magdalene.
