    Mel Gibson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Mel Gibson is back in the spotlight this week with his new action thriller Hunting Season making its digital and premium video on demand debut. The film, described as a gritty survivalist thriller, stars Gibson as Bo Bowdrie, a reclusive father who finds a wounded young woman in the woods and must protect her from a ruthless drug lord and his gang. CBR has an exclusive clip from the film titled Wounded, showing Gibson’s character carrying the injured woman to his cabin and preparing to treat her gunshot wound while warning his daughter it’s going to get loud in there. The film also stars Sofia Hublitz, Shelley Hennig, and Jordi Mollà, and is directed by RJ Collins from a script by Adam Hampton. Reviews so far are mixed but lean positive, with The Hollywood Reporter praising Gibson’s intense, weathered performance and noting his blue eyes still blaze the way they did in the Lethal Weapon days. The film currently holds a 64 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews, earning a fresh badge, though audience scores aren’t yet available. Critics note that while the film has some generic VOD thriller flaws, Gibson remains a compelling, dynamic lead who elevates the material.

    Beyond Hunting Season, Gibson remains deep in development on his two-part sequel to The Passion of the Christ, which is generating significant buzz and controversy. AOL reports that Gibson is reportedly risking assassination from religious zealots and far-right extremists after casting a pro-abortion rights actress as the Virgin Mary in the new film, a move that’s reignited debate around his religious projects. Meanwhile, there are unconfirmed YouTube clips and fan posts circulating with titles like Mel Gibson Reveals Everything and Mel Gibson Loses It With Celebrities Mocking Charlie Kirk, but these appear to be commentary or reaction videos rather than verified public appearances or statements from Gibson himself. There are also posts advertising a Mel Gibson private meet and greet in London, UK, but these seem to be event promotions rather than official announcements from his team. For now, the real story is Gibson back in action mode, both on screen in Hunting Season and behind the scenes on his next big passion project.

  • Mel Gibson's Comeback: Hunting Season, Passion Sequel, and Navigating Controversy

    Mel Gibson's Comeback: Hunting Season, Passion Sequel, and Navigating Controversy
    Dec 6 2025
    Mel Gibson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Biosnap AI here. In the last few days Mel Gibson has been in that strange space where comeback craftsmanship, political baggage, and lingering curiosity all collide, and the headlines reflect it.

    According to MovieWeb and The AU Review, his new action thriller Hunting Season has just landed in U.S. theaters and on digital, drawing notices that frame it as a gritty, emotion-laced neo‑Western and a genuine “action thriller comeback” for Gibson the movie star, not just the embattled icon. These reviews suggest that, for the first time in a while, the industry is judging him more on performance than on past scandal, a shift that could matter to how his third‑act career is written.

    On the directing side, industry trades tracked by IMDb and Variety report that The Resurrection of the Christ, his long‑gestating sequel to The Passion of the Christ, is now a two‑part epic backed by Lionsgate, with principal photography underway in Rome at Cinecittà Studios and a largely new cast stepping into the key biblical roles. The recasting has already stirred accusations of blasphemy and controversy, but business‑wise the project is being positioned as one of the biggest faith‑based undertakings on the market, with budgets reportedly in the nine‑figure range for each film. Wikipedia’s film‑series overview notes that this comes on the heels of Gibson losing his Malibu home in the recent Los Angeles wildfires, an event he has described in interviews as a kind of spiritual stripping‑down that pushed him toward this project, a detail that clearly feeds the long‑term mythology around him.

    Entertainment outlets such as People and AOL continue to recycle and extend coverage of his January appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience and his February panel at MegaCon Orlando, where he talked up Flight Risk, confirmed The Resurrection as his next directing focus, and mused about wanting to work with fellow lightning‑rod Shia LaBeouf. Those quotes keep resurfacing on social media as shorthand for Gibson’s ongoing comfort with controversy.

    On the more speculative, gossipy edge, YouTube commentary channels have pushed a fresh clip claiming Gibson “loses it” over celebrities mocking right‑wing activist Charlie Kirk at a memorial, but that narrative appears confined to partisan and tabloid‑style ecosystems without corroboration from major news organizations, so for now it sits in the unverified rumor column rather than the permanent record.

  • Mel Gibson's Passion Sequel, Spiritual Visions, and Mad Max Revival | Hollywood Spotlight Episode 27

    Mel Gibson's Passion Sequel, Spiritual Visions, and Mad Max Revival | Hollywood Spotlight Episode 27
    Dec 2 2025
    Mel Gibson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Mel Gibson has been quite active in recent days, with several significant developments across his film projects and public life. Most notably, his highly anticipated sequel to The Passion of the Christ is moving forward with a completely new cast. The two-part film, titled The Resurrection of the Christ, will star Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen as Jesus, replacing Jim Caviezel from the original 2004 film. Polish-Italian actress Kasia Smutniak has been cast as Mary, Jesus's mother, while Mariela Garriga will play Mary Magdalene. Lionsgate has scheduled Part One for release on Good Friday, March 26, 2027, with Part Two arriving exactly forty days later on Ascension Day, May 6, 2027. According to Entertainment Weekly, the casting of Smutniak has sparked some controversy, with certain groups expressing concerns about her involvement.

    On the acting front, Gibson has two theatrical releases imminent. Hunting Season, an intense action thriller in which he plays a protective father caught in a deadly situation, debuts in select theaters and on VOD starting December fifth. Meanwhile, the action-dark comedy Fatman, where Gibson stars as a struggling Santa Claus hunted by an assassin played by Walton Goggins, has recently received critical attention from reviewers praising both actors' performances.

    Gibson's recent public statements have taken an unusual turn. A video circulating online attributes to him a lengthy discussion about spiritual visions he claims to have experienced, referencing December 2025 as a spiritually significant period. However, the veracity and context of these statements remain unclear from available sources.

    In political developments, Gibson's gun rights were restored in April following a 2010 domestic violence incident, and he was designated as a special ambassador to Hollywood for the Trump administration in January. Recent reporting suggests there were discussions within the pardon process regarding restoration of his firearm access, though details remain contested.

    On the entertainment front, the original Mad Max film, in which Gibson starred in 1979, is coming to Prime Video in early December 2025, introducing a new generation to the film that launched one of cinema's most successful franchises.

    Gibson continues to maintain an active presence in Hollywood as both director and actor, with multiple projects in various stages of development and production.

  • Mel Gibson's Controversial Christ Sequel: Casting Backlash, Threats, and a Trippy Vision

    Mel Gibson's Controversial Christ Sequel: Casting Backlash, Threats, and a Trippy Vision
    Nov 29 2025
    Mel Gibson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Mel Gibson has been in the spotlight recently with several significant developments surrounding his ambitious sequel project. The 69-year-old actor and director is currently filming "The Resurrection of the Christ" across multiple locations in Italy, including Rome's Cinecittà Studios and various southern Italian cities like Matera and Altamura. Production began in October 2025, and Lionsgate announced that the two-part film will premiere on Good Friday, March 26, 2027, with the second installment following on Ascension Day, May 6, 2027.

    However, the production has become mired in significant controversy. According to multiple reports, Gibson is facing assassination threats from religious extremists and far-right groups following his casting of Polish actress Kasia Smutniak as the Virgin Mary. Smutniak, known for her pro-choice activism and support for women's rights movements, has sparked outrage among conservative Christian circles, particularly in Poland. Production insiders indicate that security around Gibson has been substantially increased due to the volume and threatening nature of messages received. Gibson reportedly did not anticipate such intense backlash to the casting decision.

    The sequel has also stirred controversy over casting changes. Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen has been cast as Jesus, replacing Jim Caviezel from the original 2004 film, which has drawn accusations of blasphemy from some quarters. The original "Passion of the Christ" earned $610 million worldwide and remains the second-highest-grossing R-rated film in North America.

    Screenwriter Randall Wallace recently discussed how the project emerged from conversations about the Resurrection's significance in Protestant theology versus Catholic emphasis on the Crucifixion. Wallace described Gibson's vision for the film as "an acid trip" depicting spiritual warfare, with Gibson emphasizing that the project must be approached with pure hearts rather than commercial motivations.

    Beyond the film project, Gibson has remained active in other ventures. He recently lost his Malibu home in the Los Angeles wildfires and was named a "special ambassador" to Hollywood by President Donald Trump three weeks ago, alongside Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight. Gibson expressed surprise at the appointment. His latest directorial effort, "Flight Risk," starring Mark Wahlberg and Topher Grace, represents his first feature film directorial project in nearly a decade.

    At a recent MegaCon appearance in Orlando, Florida, Gibson expressed admiration for actor Shia LaBeouf, calling him "a tricky customer" while praising his truthful approach to acting and hoping to collaborate with him in the future.

  • Mel Gibson's Holy War: Defying Death Threats, Resurrecting Christ & Dividing Europe

    Mel Gibson's Holy War: Defying Death Threats, Resurrecting Christ & Dividing Europe
    Nov 25 2025
    Mel Gibson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Mel Gibson has roared back into the news this week, not only dominating film industry chatter but igniting a fierce firestorm across social media and European politics. The biggest headline teaming his name is the mounting chaos on the set of his new film The Resurrection of the Christ. This much-anticipated sequel to his 2004 blockbuster Passion of the Christ is deep in production in Italy, but controversy erupted after Mel cast Polish actress Kasia Smutniak as the Virgin Mary. Smutniak, openly pro-choice and a known supporter of women’s rights protests in Poland, was always going to trigger debate—still, even Gibson did not expect the backlash to escalate into credible threats against his safety. According to OK Magazine, Gibson is now facing assassination threats from far-right religious zealots in Europe, particularly Poland. Security on set has ramped up significantly, with internal sources describing “venom” and violent language directed at Gibson and the crew. Despite the uproar, Mel has remained defiant, reportedly urging his team to press on and defending Smutniak, who replaced Maia Morgenstern for this pivotal role. The insider temperature: Mel has faced plenty of controversy over his turbulent career, but allies say this is different—opponents treat the film like a holy battleground, not just another movie.

    Parallel to the drama in Italy, Gibson’s name resurfaced on the social grid after a passionate interview clip circulated from his Joe Rogan podcast appearance, where he dissected the supernatural incidents and resistance tied to the original Passion film. Gibson confessed his ongoing faith battle in Hollywood and recounted stories from set that some called miracles—including the now-infamous lightning strike hitting his Jesus actor, Jim Caviezel. Clips from the interview, amplified by YouTube and Christian platforms like Lion of Judah, have reignited the old debate on Hollywood’s treatment of religious themes, landing the story on trending charts well into this week.

    Movie buffs have another Gibson headline after trailers for his upcoming thriller Hunting Season exploded online. FirstShowing and ScreenRant showcased the teaser, instantly trending on Twitter and popular entertainment news feeds. The action film sees Gibson display his survival-hero chops, hinting at a parallel track of career revitalization far from the religious-political crossfire.

    Internationally, Mel turned heads at the Joy Awards, making a rare public appearance in a high-profile gathering of global celebrities, as covered by NileFM. Meanwhile, the Albanian press is buzzing about rumors that both Gibson and Jean-Claude Van Damme are expected to visit Albania soon—a move yet to be officially confirmed by either star.

    In summary, Gibson is weathering a media-perfect storm—part cinematic resurrection, part controversy magnet. Iterating his return to mainstream moviemaking while navigating serious security issues, political discord, and a new wave of social media fascination, Mel Gibson remains, for better or worse, the relentless lightning rod of contemporary Hollywood.

    Mel Gibson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Mel Gibson has been in the headlines repeatedly over the past several days, with developments ranging from streaming success to serious security concerns surrounding his latest film project.

    Most recently, Gibson's 2020 dark comedy "Fatman," in which he plays an unorthodox Santa Claus opposite Walton Goggins, has become a surprise hit on Paramount Plus. According to FlixPatrol, the film recently claimed the top spot on Paramount's streaming charts on November 20th after hovering in second and third place throughout the week, demonstrating strong audience appetite for the unconventional holiday film five years after its theatrical release.

    On the film production front, Gibson's highly anticipated sequel to his 2004 biblical blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ" continues to generate significant buzz and controversy. Currently filming in Italy, "The Resurrection of the Christ" is now the subject of serious security concerns. According to production insiders, Gibson is facing credible assassination threats from religious extremists and far-right groups following his casting decision. The controversy centers on his choice to cast Polish actress Kasia Smutniak, 46, as the Virgin Mary. Smutniak has been a vocal supporter of women's rights and abortion access, which has provoked intense outrage among conservative Christian circles, particularly in Poland. Sources close to the production report that threats have escalated beyond online criticism, with security teams treating the situation as credible enough to significantly increase Gibson's protection detail. One insider noted that while Gibson anticipated debate over the casting choice, he was unprepared for the level of violent language and venom directed at him.

    The sequel represents a major continuation of Gibson's biblical epic saga. According to reports, the original cast has not been retained, with Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen now set to play Jesus, replacing Jim Caviezel, and Cuban actress Mariela Garriga taking on the role of Mary Magdalene, replacing Monica Bellucci. Rupert Everett has also been confirmed in an undisclosed role. The first film is scheduled for theatrical release on March 26, 2027.

    Additionally, HBO Max reports that Gibson directed "Flight Risk," which debuted on the platform on November 26, 2025, providing another recent outlet for his creative work.

    These developments paint a picture of Gibson navigating both professional success and intensifying personal security challenges as he continues his career resurrection in the entertainment industry.

  • Mel Gibson's Casting Controversy: Facing Backlash and Death Threats Over The Resurrection of the Christ

    Mel Gibson's Casting Controversy: Facing Backlash and Death Threats Over The Resurrection of the Christ
    Nov 24 2025
    Mel Gibson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Mel Gibson is back in the global spotlight, facing a firestorm over his new film The Resurrection of the Christ. According to OK Magazine and Simon Mercieca, Gibson is reportedly facing credible assassination threats from religious extremists and far-right groups after casting Polish actress Kasia Smutniak, known for her pro-choice activism, as the Virgin Mary. The backlash has been especially intense in Poland, with conservative figures like Pawel Rybicki leading the charge. Security around Gibson has been significantly increased, and insiders say the level of anger and violent language has unsettled even the famously tough director. Production continues in Italy, with Gibson insisting the team move forward despite the controversy.

    Gibson recently appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast, where he discussed the spiritual and physical challenges of making The Passion of the Christ, including unexplained events on set and the actor playing Jesus enduring real injuries. Rogan noted the unusual resistance Gibson faced from Hollywood, which Gibson described as a spiritual battle. The podcast appearance has sparked renewed interest in Gibson’s faith and filmmaking journey.

    IMDb and CBR confirm that filming for The Resurrection of the Christ is underway, with Gibson describing the sequel as an “acid trip” and revealing it will be a two-part epic. The film picks up where The Passion of the Christ left off, following Christ’s journey through hell before the Resurrection. Jim Caviezel was set to reprise his role as Jesus, but de-aging technology costs led to a largely new cast.

    Gibson’s business activities remain strong, with Icon Productions continuing to produce major hits. His net worth is estimated at $425 million, according to Pulse and The Economic Times, largely due to his success behind the camera and savvy investments.

    Social media is buzzing with reactions to the casting controversy, with many praising Gibson’s bold choice and others condemning it. The debate shows no signs of slowing, making this one of the most significant moments in Gibson’s career in years.
