À propos de cet audio
Mel Gibson continues to generate headlines on multiple fronts the past several days. His most significant move is putting his long-discussed Passion of the Christ sequel into active preproduction. Entertainment Weekly broke the news that The Resurrection of the Christ will be released as two separate films, with Part One targeting Good Friday March 26, 2027, and Part Two set for Ascension Day forty days later. Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci will reprise their roles, and the ambitious project is being spearheaded by Gibson through his Icon Productions shingle. Lionsgate confirmed this double-movie approach, citing the sheer scale and metaphysical content, which Gibson himself described as an acid trip—including scenes set in Hell and Sheol. He revealed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that after years of scripting with Randall Wallace, they are finally gearing up to shoot, with plans to film at Cinecittà Studios in Rome and locations across Southern Italy, per Variety.
Meanwhile, the action-thriller Flight Risk, which Gibson recently directed and stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery, and Topher Grace, has become the subject of industry chatter. While the film underperformed at the box office and left critics unimpressed, it did better with general audiences, earning a 62 percent score from viewers, a fact highlighted by Collider. Promotion for Flight Risk included a behind-the-scenes featurette released by Lionsgate, and Gibson has made the rounds on big platforms, stoking further public curiosity about both his filmmaking and his public persona.
On the personal appearance circuit, Orlando Weekly announced that Gibson and Lethal Weapon co-star Danny Glover are special guests at MegaCon, drawing crowds for solo and tandem photo ops plus autograph sessions. This public-facing activity keeps his fanbase engaged and in the news.
Gibson's classic films are also enjoying new life on streaming: The 2023 noir Desperation Road, where he stars alongside Garrett Hedlund and Ryan Hurst, has cracked the Netflix top 10 in multiple countries. Additionally, his 2000 epic The Patriot has surged in streaming popularity on Paramount plus, according to a recent FlixPatrol update.
On social media, a recent Instagram post showed Gibson and long-time partner Rosalind Ross enjoying the King John's Summer Prom Festival in Trim at an Irish Philharmonic Orchestra concert, which generated warm fan response.
Mel remains a lightning rod in larger cultural commentary. As noted in a recent Shockya feature on Hollywood’s power dynamics, he is cast as a rebel voice in the industry, frequently cited for challenging corruption and exposing abuse—an angle that continues to be referenced with both admiration and controversy in media.
