A new report alleges that actor Jim Caviezel and Monica Belluci will not reprise their roles in Mel Gibson’s upcoming The Resurrection of the Christ film.This Substack is reader-supported.
Candidly, I was unsettled by the technology de-aging of an actor playing the Messiah, but kept my mouth shut because I like Caviezel and root for him. But this is probably the right choice, honestly.
I can believe the scheduling conflict issue especially when its been so many years between. They can do some amazing things with CGI but in this case its probably better to use another actor if they can find one who's close to looking like Caviezel did and who can act well.

This sounds like BS. There's no way Caviezel wouldn't do this, and no way Gibson would do it without him. Belucci, maybe, but not Caviezel.
Such a shame.
Does the cast matter? No.
The only way it would is if they had cast Jesus and had to replace Him.
It's the story - as long as the cast is capable.
