Mel Gibson has made a new cut of The Passion of The Christ, trimming five to six minutes of violent scenes, reports Variety. The new version, The Passion Recut, will go out on 500-750 screens by Newmarket Films beginning March 11.

The new cut will be unrated, adds the trade. Gibson showed a preliminary version of this version to the ratings board. When it became clear he would still receive an R rating, which his original film bore, Gibson decided that would defeat his purpose.

While the original film grossed $370.2 million on an initial theatrical run that began Ash Wednesday last year, Gibson cut a less-violent version of his film in response to an audience segment that skipped the film because of the depiction of onscreen carnage as Jesus Christ was tortured by Roman troops prior to being crucified.

"There are no new scenes, and the cuts are limited to the more violent aspects of the film, if that's the right term," said Bruce Davey, Gibson's partner in Icon Productions. "The scourging scene in particular has been substantially adjusted."

The film will be released in most major markets across the country. It is expected to run through Easter weekend, and Davey said that this might become a perennial release.

Once is enough. Why would they bother to release the uncut version of 'The Passion of the Christ' in theatres again? By the way, I would rather spend $6.50 on DVD for rent than spendin' $9.00 to see a five-minute-added movie. *shrugs*

I would prefer this cut-down version. The first film was way too brutal and gory. It would be nice to have a movie about Jesus that I could actually show my kids at some point.

Oh well, the first time people shed tears. I don't think the second one will be any different except for the cut scenes.

I mean I actually understand why he might put it out again and make it an annual thing, I mean for one of the two reasons that people think he made the movie in the first place. Either for those who think his heart was not in the right place and made it for money or those who feel it is in the right place and showing part of Jesus story on a grand scale.

True that James it's a waste of money and and Mel is just a greedy SOB(in my opinion) all he wants is more money.
