He arises from the dead three days later. This is consistent with the story line. Its actually a trilogy, next will be Passion of the Christ: Apocalypse. ---

A very well read story with a strong readership following. The story arc is very well known and predictable. You dont even have to do much by way of having script writers. The second segment should not be as shocking as the first one, as there isnt any violence. The third in the series should be spectacular. ---

Only if he follows up with the Apocalypse. If done correctly it could be interesting. Has there ever been a mainstream movie depicting it? Lots of Jesus movies have been made, but I can’t recall one that went full out on the last chapter. ---

**Passion of the Christ II : The Resurrection** You know, when they wanted to do a sequel to the TV miniseries Franco Zeferelli’s _Jesus of Nazareth_ they called it **A.D.** > **[A.D. (miniseries)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.D._(miniseries))** > > A.D. (1985) is an American/Italian miniseries in six parts that adapts the narrative in the Acts of the Apostles. Considered as the third and final installment in a TV miniseries trilogy that began with Moses the Lawgiver (1974) and Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth (1977), it was adapted from Anthony Burgess's 1985 novel The Kingdom of the Wicked, which was itself a sequel to Burgess's book Man of Nazareth, on which was based Zeffirelli's movie. The title is the abbreviation for Anno Domi ---

> [@Si\_Amigo](#): > > A very well read story with a strong readership following. The story arc is very well known and predictable. You dont even have to do much by way of having script writers. The reception will be watered down by all the fanfiction that stole the essentials of the original’s storyline, though. It’s like watching _Citizen Kane_, and being blasé about all the innovative camera work, because so many later movies copied it.
