"I always wanted to tell this story," said Wallace in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "'The Passion is the beginning and there's a lot more story to tell," he added.
He Is Now Working On The Screenplay
Wallace also revealed that he is now writing the screenplay of the Mel Gibson "Passion of the Christ" sequel. He admitted that hiding a film project as big as this movie is really impossible. The Christian community played a big part in arriving at the decision to make this sequel, Wallace added. "The evangelical community considers 'The Passion' the biggest movie ever out of Hollywood, and they kept telling us that they think a sequel will be even bigger," said the screenwriter.
