Porte-parole de la Déclaration de Casablanca, elle a passé 3 jours en Argentine, du 10 au 12 août, après une tournée au Chili.

Mel Gibson confirms The Resurrection of the Christ will be in English, not Aramaic Mel Gibson is hard at work on his epic, two-part sequel to The Passion of the Christ, but he found time to make a stopover at Fan Expo Boston this weekend, where he was interviewed on stage about his career. During the interview, he discussed The Resurrection of the Christ, whose first part is due out in theaters on May 7th, 2027 (the second part will follow just over a year later, on May 25th, 2028). In addition to recasting Jesus Christ, with Jim Caviezel replaced by Jaakko Ohtonen, another crucial change is being made.
Mel Gibson abandona el arameo en su secuela de «La Pasión» Jim Caviezel será sustituido por Jaako Ohtonen en el papel de Jesucristo, como el propio Gibson justificó.

El proyecto, dividido en dos entregas filmadas simultáneamente en Italia, se encuentra ya en fase de postproducción. hmtv
