So... Mel Gibson Is Planning a Passion of the Christ Sequel

[KaraFang]

The first one was awful... it was a snuff movie! Worse, it was endorsed by Christians. We really don't need another one, unless he's going to focus on what Christ actually was preaching about (love and peace).

I'm atheist for many reasons, but I did see passion of the christ due to curiosity... haven't seen that much violence, blood and pain since Hostel. (shudders)

I also presume he'll be self funding, can't think of any film company that'd want to give him the money considering his... interesting past and views.

 

[Chanticoblues]

First movie was dumb. This one will be dumb too, probably.

 

[Laser Priest]

Why these kind of reactions people? There a lot of things to be covered in the second movie that would be very interesting.
Specifically I really want to see a scene with the meeting of Jesus and his students. Very memorable when I read it when I was a child.

Well, I mean, the original movie seemed to mostly be Jesus being tortured in slow motion, so I don't know how much other torture Gibson can really find to make a movie out of.

 

[Chaos Isaac]

Oh, will it cover any of the other characters who pretty much had Jesus' story before/after him?

The Passion of Horus and/or Osiris?
The Passion of Buddha?

 

[Callate]

I know the AV Club usually plays things straight (especially in contrast to the rest of The Onion), but I'm having more than a little bit of a hard time believing this.

If nothing else, it's hard to imagine Caviezel signing up to be struck by lightning again...

 

[KyuubiNoKitsune-Hime]

Technically if you talk about the resurrection, the three days in which Jesus walked the Earth and no one recognized him, his final sermon, and ascent to heaven... That's all canon in the bible and could cover an entire movie about Jesus after his crucifixion. Not to mention all the turmoil and grief that followed the crucifixion.

 

[lacktheknack]

Uhm... why?

And of what?

The following days, while theologically crucial, aren't really blockbuster material.

Maybe they'll be doing the early Roman martyrdoms? Tons of people got crucified (many upside down), used as human torches, thrown to lions, sliced up by gladiators, etc.

Passion 2: Revelations/Resurrection/Reloaded/Reexamined/Reborn/Repudiated

Anyway, it amazes me that ANYONE is interested in working with this guy after he torpedoed his career. Doing a sequel to it is one thing, but why bring back the guy whose name is poisoned?

You mean like Robert Downey Jr?

Anyway, the mockery is idiotic. Are people really that ignorant? Apparently. Passion of the Christ was not a very good movie. It was essentially torture porn based more on mystical writings from a crackpot than the Bible. But there is a significant amount of material to make a sequel. Jesus is like Mad Max. He doesn't have to appear all that much in the sequel. You just have to look at how his death and resurrection affects his disciples.

Ooh! I got one! The Passion of the Christ: First Blood: Part 2

Was there a post credit scene at the end of Passion of the Christ that I miss which sets up a sequel?

Is... will Jesus join up with a team of other Bible characters to form the Aven... nah, that'll never happen.

I live-tweeted watching The Passion of the Christ for the first time, and might I add, the very last time. "Jesus is missing from the tomb. Obviously, they are setting things up for a sequel."

The Passion of the Christ was torture porn before torture porn was cool. Hopefully, they leave the sequel idea on the shelf along with the long-rumored Top Gun sequel. The only idea worst than this is to remake Ghostbusters with an all-female cast and accuse people of sexism if they criticize the movie in anyway. Good thing, people are not that greedy or stupid like that.

This is clearly being made just for money because appearently Deadpool beats Passion of the Christ for Highest Grossing Box Office for an R Rated movie ever.

What I would do is make a movie about the appearent apocolypse of the Book of Revelation.

.....I need to say it on purpose...
Jesus Christ Almighty! Just Google "Jesus after Resurrection" to see the possible material which maybe appear in the movie.

I actually looked at the link detailing what Jesus did after the resurrection. It bored me to tears. Also, The Passion Play or Easter pageant is a dramatic presentation depicting the Passion of Jesus Christ: his trial, suffering and death. It is a traditional part of Lent in several Christian denominations, particularly in Catholic tradition. It doesn't lend itself to any sequels after the resurrection.

So even most people complain about the torture porn the previous film had, you still need something similar to br more interesting? I don't get it. Do you really want to see Jesus to suffer more to be more interesting?
Btw I never saw the whole film, just the beggining, so i don't know nothing about the "porn" the ovie have...

 

[Darth Rosenberg]

Seems--- odd, but okay.

I'm agnostic but I rather admired the first film. It desperately needed editing, and about 90% less torture, but it had a fine cast (Caviezel's pretty much always great), and a thick, heady atmosphere. Loved the Aramaic, too.

I'd say Aronofsky's Noah's still my favourite inspired-by-Bible-myths film, as that doesn't need a heavy dose of the fast-forward button to rewatch and still enjoy.

This was a crap family guy joke many years ago, it's nice to see reality follow satire into the depths of eternal laughter. Spoiler alert: Everyone loses in the end. The best you can hope for is feeling slightly relevant and loved by an imaginary friend. Who will betray you with enough time.

Its not just satire reality follows. Concepts in movies from the 80's, 90's and 00's is influencing scientist and the rich. Like how a few months ago, maybe end of last year, some Govenment group in the US created a system called "Skynet". FUCKING SKYNET!!

Honestly, I am going to predict that everything in Demolition Man will come true. Faux meat, VR intercourse and those damn 3 seashells. HOW DO YOU USE THEM?!?!

Apocalypto was released just six months after that whole DUI thing and the movie made 120 million dollars against its 40 million dollar budget. You bring him back because he makes good movies and people still care.

Except they don't; they really, REALLY don't. Apocalypto was also ten years during the DUI. That was one thing because a DUI is pretty common and even his tirade could be chalked up to him being drunk. And then came the divorce. And then came the domestic violence charges with his mistress. The guy still makes movies, but no one sees them. The guy is washed up and the world at large does not care.

While he might very well be washed up, it seems unlikely that DUIs and domestic violence would do that, a successful celeb can have those overlooked quite easily.

Do we laugh or do we cry? I know which one keeps me mostly hydrated at least.
Once...I tried getting three seashells together. They bickered and fought and murdered each other in the end. Perhaps this is a Utopia we must work towards. How can we ever work with the seashells if they can't work with each other? (Actually that may have been a dream or a trip. I stand by it nonetheless!)
