As you note, The Passion was a meditation of the Sorrowful Mysteries. The Resurrection will similarly be a reflection on those mysteries. I hope that Mel lives and works long enough to do the Joyful Mysteries.
Same. Although the Resurrection apparently just deals with the First Glorious Mystery, or actually, the time between His death on the cross and His Resurrection. I'd love to see him get through them all in this movie.
I must say, however, that I did not care for his casting of the Jєωess to play the part of Our Lady. I didn't like her or her looks ... so that put me off quite a bit.
