@foxnews: For years, fans have wondered when Mel Gibson would return to the world of "The Passion of the Christ." Now, the Oscar-winning director's longtime collaborator is revealing what happened behind the scenes before work on "The Resurrection of the Christ" ever began. Screenwriter Randall Wallace says he urged Gibson to tell the story of Jesus' Resurrection during a conversation in 2016 while the pair were promoting "Hacksaw Ridge." According to Wallace, Gibson believed making the film would invite spiritual warfare, warning that "the devil doesn't want this movie made." Wallace also revealed that the original cut of "The Passion of the Christ" didn't even include the Resurrection scene—until audience feedback convinced Gibson to add the now-iconic ending.
