It was virtually 20 years in the past when Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ stormed the field workplace and revamped $622 million worldwide.

The biblical epic ended with Jesus rising from the useless and since then each the director and his Messiah star Jim Caviezel have been planning a long-awaited sequel centered on the aftermath of the Resurrection.

In latest years, the latter has teased the film can be a “masterpiece” and “the biggest film in world history”.

And now Gibson himself has given an replace on what’s happening with the mission and confessed he’s really selecting between two scripts.

Speaking with Outstanding Screenplays, the 67-year-old was requested if the blockbuster was coming quickly.

Gibson replied: “Yes, sooner now because it is such a massive undertaking. You can’t do it lightly and quickly.

“You have to really consider what it is that you need to show in order to be poignant.

“It can’t be linear. You have to have many things to juxtapose against one another, even from different time periods, in order to illustrate what something means in a more full way. And I think it’s going to be a real jigsaw puzzle to do.”

Gibson continued: “And I have two scripts, and one of them is very structured and a very strong script, and kind of more what you’d expect, and the other is like an acid trip.

“Because you’re going into other realms and stuff. I mean, you’re in hell, and you’re watching the angels fall. It’s like, crazy.

”Asked if Caviezel would reprise Jesus as soon as once more, the director confirmed: “Yeah of course.”
