Mel Gibson's passion project...
22From a Fox interview while promoting his latest film in 2023:
Jim Caviezel was struck by lightning "on the last shot of the movie," he told Fox News Digital in a new interview. The cast and crew were filming the Sermon on the Mount scene and, on the fifth take, Caviezel was struck.
The lightning strike led to two heart surgeries, including an open-heart surgery, along with "lots of medication." The actor said the issue was "finally corrected" in 2014.
In addition to the lightning strike, Caviezel was also toppled by a cross weighing over 150 pounds while filming.
"It fell on my head, and I bit through my tongue and my cheek," Caviezel recalled.
"And it was actually in the film," he added. "You see blood streaming out of my mouth" during the scene. The actor's left shoulder was also dislocated.
"I had really struggled with that all film."
Filming for the sequel, tentatively titled "The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection," is reportedly beginning soon with a release date some time in 2024, according to IMDB. Meanwhile, Caviezel confirmed to Fox News Digital he's been in touch with Mel Gibson about the future film.
