Randall Wallace, the writer of the upcoming film “The Resurrection of the Christ,” has revealed that actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson cautioned him before they began work on the project. According to Wallace, Gibson warned him that the endeavor could attract significant opposition, framing his concern in spiritual terms during a conversation about grace.
The sequel follows Gibson’s 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ,” which became a major box office success and remains one of the highest-grossing faith-based films. Wallace’s disclosure about Gibson’s warning has drawn attention as the new film enters production, raising questions about the challenges the filmmakers anticipate facing.
