Mel Gibson’s long-awaited sequel, The Resurrection of the Christ, will start shooting in August at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, CEO Manuela Cacciamani has announced. Cacciamani, in an interview with Italian financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore, said Gibson and Icon Productions have set an August start-of-shoot date for the follow-up to his 2004 biblical blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, which became the largest-grossing independent film of all time. Jim Caviezel and other stars from the original are expected to reprise their roles.
