Mel Gibson, the actor-turned-director behind the controversial biblical film The Passion of the Christ, is still working on a sequel to the film that depicts Jesus' last moments. And while many would question the necessity of making a continuation, Gibson is sure about it, and his most recent comments are proof that he has a plan for addressing a major issue with the film: the fact that more than 20 years have passed since he made the first one.

On other occasions, that wouldn't be an issue. The problem is that The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection (the sequel's unofficial title) will portray the events that take place a few days after Jesus perished by crucifixion. So, how will Gibson deal with the fact that actors physically changed, some have died, and some aren't even confirmed to participate in the project? As reported by ComicBook, he has "found ways to deal with that.

The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection looks to be finally moving forward. After years of development, Mel Gibson was spotted location scouting in Europe earlier this week for the hotly-anticipated sequel to his 2004 biblical blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, suggesting that the project may be close to entering production.

Puglia Film Commission director Antonio Parente shared that Mel Gibson toured Malta with a production team and subsequently arrived in the Southern Italian region of Puglia where he visited various rural locations, including the ancient towns of Ginosa, Gravina Laterza, and Altamura. However, Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, was quick to fan the flames regarding a filming start date for Resurrection, telling Variety, "All we can confirm is they were scouting locations recently ... not a lot to discuss at this early stage."
