Jim Caviezel, who acted Jesus in a 2004 film \u201cThe Passion of the Christ,\u201d says he has received the third draft of a sequel film \u201cThe Passion of the Christ: Resurrection,\u201d which he says would be the biggest film in world history.<\/p>\n

Caviezel said he received the draft from Mel Gibson, the film director, though the date for its release is not known for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cMel Gibson just sent me the third picture, the third draft, it\u2019s coming,\u201d he said in an interview with Breitbart News Daily. \u201cIt would be the biggest film in world history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibson had revealed in 2016 that he was working a sequel and that it would take time to release because resurrection is a \u201cbig subject.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caviezel told Breitbart News Daily that he said he would still play Jesus in the coming film that focuses on resurrection of the saviour.<\/p>\n

He revealed that Hollywood blacklisted him after he played Jesus in the 2004 film but that he defended his role.<\/p>\n

The American actor explained that he accepted to play the role of Jesus because his faith was bigger than anything else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no choice. I had to defend it. I had to fight to survive,\u201d Cavielzel said. \u201cThe film exploded. It was off the charts. You\u2019d think, Oh, you are going to work a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t. I was no longer on the studio list. That was gone\u2026Because of what I do as an actor \u2013 that\u2019s my skill \u2013 it was given to me from God. I didn\u2019t give myself, but it\u2019s something in which I have great range.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really felt that faith was much bigger than the industry and Hollywood, and bigger than the Republican or Democratic Party or any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor said The Passion\u2019s sequel is important in today\u2019s culture, saying, \u201cIt is so imperative in this time. These films can\u2019t be made now. The films they make are Marvel Comics movies. You\u2019ll see Superman. You won\u2019t see Jesus. I got to play the greatest superhero there ever was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caviezel said Hollywood is hostile to Biblical films despite the fact that they are doing well at the box office.<\/p>\n

Despite the hostility from the industry, the first film, The Passion of the Christ\u201d earned about $612 million globally with production budget of $30 million.<\/p>\n

During the filming of The Passion of the Christ, Caviezel, 52, was struck by lightning. The thunder struck him once while reciting the \u201cLove your enemies\u201d in Aramaic.<\/p>\n

The actor also had his shoulder dislocated just as he suffered from pneumonia, hypothermia, lung infection and persistent migraines.<\/p>\n

Also, the film\u2019s Assistant Director, Jan Michelini, was struck by lightning twice.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Scott Ross, the 700 Club producer, Cavielzel, confirmed the behind the scenes events.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIt was lit up like a Christmas tree. I was doing the Sermon on the Mount. I knew it was going to hit me about four seconds before it happened. I thought, \u201cI\u2019m going to get hit. And when it happened, I saw the extras grab the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they saw was fire coming out the right and left side of my head. Illumination around the whole body. And during the shot they said, \u201cDo you have it on camera?\u201d What happened was Mel had said, \u201cAction\u201d and the cameras were panning to me and here is where this light just flashed. And by the time the cameras got to me, I hear Mel screaming out, \u201cWhat the heck happened to his hair?\u201d I looked like I went to see Don King\u2019s hair stylist.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cFive minutes after I got hit, Jon Mikalini, an assistant, walks over and says are you okay? And then he got hit. The difference was that they saw the bolt come down and hit Jon; they didn\u2019t see that when I was standing there. All I felt was this giant tremendous slap on my ears and a few second of a pink, red static in front of my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caviezel also revealed that a Muslim who was one of the people working on the film got converted to Christianity.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a real big experience there, you know,\u201d he said, adding that there were so many people around the world praying for the crew.<\/p>\n

Caviezel had acted in other films such as The Thin Red line, Frequency, and The Count of Monte Cristo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
