Title: The Redemption of the Christ
Post by: gob on July 03, 2006, 02:57:11 PM
What if Hollywood recognised the economic potential of Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ and felt a sequel was in order?

I started doing this with my friends a fair while ago and since we started I'd then seen various Passion of the Christ sequel jokes in random places, Family Guy por ejemplo, which is a bit frustrating but hey. Hope you folks like it.

too much guns and blood for my liking but it's redeemed (pun intended?) by the occasional Sabotage-like scenarios, and the appearance of an actor bearing an uncanny resemblance to our very own picolas. i knew it was a good idea approving your account.. please introduce yourself in this thread (http://xixax.com/index.php?topic=2.585).

hahah, that was hysterical.

very impressed with the action scenes, which borrowed from both michael bay and john woo (i mean that in a good way).

nice work.

Very funny.

The premise is kinda played out and it might be about a minute too long, but as a genre parody, it's pretty funny.

My advice is to edit it into a punchy 1-2 minute trailer for maximum impact.

Agreed. It's funny, but it could be even funnier. The John the Baptist bit is a riot.

Excellent.

Ha, Duffy would be perfect.

Thanks a lot for your feedback guys, yeah it is long (for a trailer), but there was a whole stack of good stuff that got filmed that I wanted to put in, I did actually cut out quite a lot of things, dialogue especially.

Cheers brad, The John Woo/Michael Bay stylee was exactly what we wanted to homage/take the pizzle out of and I'm glad that comes across.
Everybody seems to love John the Baptist (myself, in one of a few cameos)  :)

Any more for any more?

I think when the Audioslave kicks in, it gets great. "Jesus, you sonofabitch" is a great fucking line, haha. I would cut the bar scene, but keep everything else.
