The Lionsgate film studio has announced that Mel Gibson’s highly anticipated film The Resurrection of the Christ will be split into two parts, with each part being released in 2027 on special holy days in the Catholic calender.
In an X social media post on 5 August, the film company announced that part one of the film will be released on 26 March 2027, which is Good Friday, while part two will be released just over a month later on 6 May 2027, thereby falling on the Feast of the Ascension.
The film company announced earlier in the year on 15 May that it was teaming up with Gibson for the production and that it will distribute the movie worldwide. The deal marked a significant step in terms of momentum for the production of a film that has been in the works for close to a decade.
