Description

Mel Gibson, director of The Passion of the Christ, was spotted in Rome, filming his new movie Resurrection of the Christ. The sequel, after 20 years, has recast its original stars, with Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen as Jesus and Cuban actress Mariela Garriga as Mary Magdalene. The decision was practical, avoiding expensive de-aging, and fans are divided, some disappointed, others confident in Gibsons storytelling.
