Followed by "The Passion of Joseph Smith", then some spinoffs, and we can finally get that Super Best Friends movie.infohippie said:
OT: Don't care much about The Passion, but i liked Apocalypto, so if Mad Mel gets excused by Hollywood for his drunk shit fit and other and things gets to make more movies like that one, i'd be okay with this.
So... will this one be Jesus Strikes Back?
Maybe throw in a third movie, Return of the Christ? Perhaps then he can start on some prequels.

please tell me it's just an autobiographical film that asserts that Mel Gibson is the second coming of Jesus
Wonderful. The world's most popular Snuff Film gets a sequel. Just couldn't let Deadpool keep the #1 spot could ya Mel?
You know, what you describe could be a decent movie. Jesus did inspire a lot of people to do a lot of things. However, it would be markedly different in style than the first one. I think people expect a sequel to be similar to the earlier installment. Hence the mockery. That and a lot of people didn't like the first movie judging by the comments here.Ambient_Malice said:
Mel, go back inside and do some drugs until your face turns blue. You're not ready for the outside world yet.
OK, I don't know where to start. So, let's start with the term "torture porn". The term was coined after the movie series Saw and Hostel became popular. It's not pornography. It's a criticism of movies that seem to have no plot or purpose other than to show people being tortured to death. So, that is why other people and myself referred to The Passion of the Christ as "torture porn". Since, you haven't seen the movie all the way. There were a lot of gratuitous torture scenes in the movie.SweetShark said:
Complaining about the post-resurrection life of Christ. All he did was to hang out with his friends & family, gave one more sermon, and disappeared. That is really anti-climatic. No, I don't want to see Jesus be tortured anymore. If they had better material to base a sequel to the movie, I would be for it. It just isn't there.
Risen tried to do this already. Maybe it could be done better but Risen was at best tolerable. I'll happily sit my ass down in front of a well done documentary on this subject, but a movie attempting to dramatize it does not appeal to me at all. That's even before we look at whatever batshit insane things Gibson has planned for it.
The 40 days after Christ's resurrection are not all that interesting anyway. The eventual fates and achievements of the Apostles after those events on the other hand...that was some epic stuff. They might have ascribed to pacifism but one and all they were brave and badass as fuck.

There will be so many fanatics who will see this movie just for the sake of supporting it, for that feeling they got the first time around.
