In a 2022 interview with the National Catholic Register, Gibson said “Resurrection” was “not a linear narrative,” adding that “you have to juxtapose the central event that I’m trying to tell with everything else around it in the future, in the past, and in other realms, and that’s kind of getting a little sci-fi out there.” “The Passion of the Christ” — Gibson’s take on Jesus’ final days on earth up to his crucifixion — became the largest-grossing independent film of all time with a worldwide box office of nearly $612 million.
