Gibson confirmed this during an interview at the SoCal Harvest evangelical event in Anaheim, California on Sunday, August 28, 2016.
“We’re talking about that. Of course, that’s a huge undertaking, and it’s not The Passion 2 — it’s called the Resurrection," said Gibson.
“That’s a very big subject, and it needs to be looked at because we don’t want to just do a simple rendering of it. I mean, we can all read what happened, but in order to really experience and explore probably deeper meanings of what it’s about, it’s gonna take some doing," he added.
