Mel Gibson's controversial film about the final hours of Jesus Christ has finally found a domestic distributor. Newmarket will handle the North American roll-out of THE PASSION OF CHRIST, which is the slightly altered title that THE PASSION is now known by. Newmarket will get a percentage of the film's gross while Gibson's Icon Productions retails all of the movie's rights. The director is hoping for a release to coincide with next year's Ash Wednesday, February 25.
