Gibson said that the film doesn’t have a release date yet but that he was headed to Rome after the expo to start work on the “The Resurrection of the Christ.”
“I am scared s**tless. I have to tell you: I’m scared to death,” Gibson shared as he described the pressure he feels starting this project. “I think if you’re not afraid of something like that, there’s something wrong. I have to do a really good job.”
